Choose one of the circuit families (besides SODS, Exercise) mentioned in Section 9.4.4 or published in a recent paper. Critically evaluate the original paper in which the circuit was proposed. Sketch an inverter or buffer and explain how it operates, including appropriate waveforms. What are the strengths of the circuit family? If you were the circuit manager choosing design styles for a large chip, what concerns might you have about the circuit family?

Figure shows a Switched Output Differential Structure (SODS) gate. Explain how the gate operates and sketch waveforms for the gate acting as an inverter/buffer. Comment on the strengths and weaknesses of the circuit family.
