Abstract-This paper investigates the constructing of basic logic gates (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, and XOR) by using CMOS logic and ALTERNATE GATE CIRCUITS namely, Pseudonmos, Passtransistor, Multiplexer, Transmission Gate to perform logic operations without changing the circuit topology. CMOS suffers from increased area and correspondingly increased the capacitance and delay as the logic becomes more complex so for this reason Alternate Gate circuits are developed and these type of circuits can be used as supplement to the complementary type circuits. These forms are not intended to replace CMOS but rather to be used in special applications for special purposes. The advantages and limitations of CMOS family over BJT, Pseudonmos, Pass transistor, Transmission are discussed in this paper.
