A dual-ended (seesaw) relay design is proposed for ultralow-power digital logic applications. Fabricated seesaw relays demonstrate a perfectly complementary switching behavior that is symmetric about V(DD)/2, with extremely steep switching behavior (< 0.1 mV/dec) and low ON-state resistance (< 1 k Omega). The perfectly complementary and symmetric operation provides for maximum operating voltage margin and minimal crowbar current, as evidenced by an abrupt inverter voltage transfer characteristic.
