US10593485 - Capacitive logic cell

Abstract

A logic cell including a fixed assembly including a first electrode, a mobile assembly including a second electrode, and third, fourth, and fifth electrodes, wherein: the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth electrodes are insulated from one another; the first and second electrodes define a capacitor variable according to the position of the mobile assembly relative to the fixed assembly; the third electrode is connected to a node of application of a first logic input signal; the fourth electrode is connected to a node of application of a second logic input signal; the fifth electrode is connected to a reference node; and the position of the second electrode relative to the first electrode is a function of a combination of the first and second logic input signals.
