Not to mention, it's the one-bit multiplier suitable for double-balanced mixing...
It can be done by implementing a four-to-one MUX, and strapping the MUX inputs with 0 1 1 0, of course. You can also implement an inverter with a flip/flop, which gives truly simultaneous true and inverse outputs.
I do remember it. I saw it inside a TTL EXOR circuit, maybe the 7486. Two NPN's, E and B cross connected to open collector drivers (A and B), output taken from connected collectors, with a pull-up. At least it is symmetrical, but maybe not too fast.
Right now it's an unclocked control... consumer product, but I've thought of that. I'll nudge the customer. ...Jim Thompson

Since you are rolling your own start with a 7474 D flop with /pre and /clr. That would give you your Q and /Q. Strip out the clk gates and just drive the /pre and /clr. The old data sheet for the SN7474 is still on the TI web site with the TTL schematic. The newer parts like the 74ahc74 have logic diagrams. What is your A->out timing budget?
Does a non-inverting buffer add two propigation delays? Some little RC thing sounds dicey and I don't know if you can do a C when you roll your own.. (out of Silicon I assume)
Good point. Since chip is Mixed-Signal, delays are easy ;-) ...Jim Thompson

This is mostly my insane desire for aesthetics. I'm seeing an asymmetry and it annoys me... does no harm, but it annoys me... I like perfection ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Not bad for 70 years old, huh ?:-) ...Jim Thompson

I'm guessing Jim blocks google, otherwise he would have seen the several posts within an hour of his question telling him that muxing between control and !control would give him what he's asking for
I'm sure Google is shattered...If you have a Google account then a new menu pops up allowing you to report all that spam, and they actualy remove it within hours, so Google Groups ends up looking clean, if someone takes the time to report the spam that is.
Oh, much better would be to make a differential driver circuit. I'd suggest some relevant chips, but I think you said you were building it from primitives.
I'm doing a high-speed 3.3V to 5V translator, where "5V" may be just about anywhere 3V to 5.5V ;-)
But I think I've figured out a way to avoid the funny "lumpy" risetime I'm seeing. Looks like, rather than perfect delay match, sequencing delay mismatch depending on transition direction may smooth it out. ...Jim Thompson
