The majority gate (MAJ gate) is a logic gate that implements the majority function - a device that outputs a HIGH when the majority of its inputs are HIGH, otherwise it outputs a LOW.

MAJ3

A 3-input MAJ gate (MAJ3) can be implemented as .

CMOS

However the naive implementation will result in up to 30 transistors. Since

,

we can define MAJ3 as

and that can be implemented using a single AOI222 which is defined as

note that by substituting a, b, and c for d, e, and f we get MAJ:

It can also be implemented using a OAI222 gate the very same way. Since

,

then
