Based on the hybrid logic circuit disclosed in the foregoing embodiment, the present invention also discloses a control method based on the hybrid logic circuit, the control method including:

inputting a first input signal to a first signal input end of the hybrid logic circuit, specifically, inputting the first input signal to the first signal input end of the hybrid logic circuit by a signal source outside the hybrid logic circuit, where the inputting includes configuring and inputting a high level (corresponding to logic 1) or a low level (corresponding to logic 0); meanwhile, a second input signal is input to a second signal input end of the hybrid logic circuit, specifically, a signal source outside the hybrid logic circuit inputs the second input signal to the second signal input end of the hybrid logic circuit, where the second input signal includes a configuration input high level (corresponding to logic 1) or low level (corresponding to logic 0).

As can be seen from fig. 1, when the second input signal B is different from the first input signal a in logic, the second input signal B is high and the first input signal a is low, or the second input signal B is low and the first input signal a is high; if implemented as an analog input signal, the second input signal B is an inverse signal of the first input signal a, and may be when the associated module inside the hybrid logic circuit detects that the signal a at the first signal input terminal is an inverse signal of the signal B at the second signal input terminal (which may be understood as two voltage signals with the same amplitude but opposite changing directions), the first signal output terminal of the hybrid logic circuit outputs a high level, and the second signal output terminal of the hybrid logic circuit outputs a low level, that is, the fourth PMOS transistor P4 is turned on to transmit the second input signal B received by the drain of the fourth PMOS transistor P4 to the source of the fourth PMOS transistor P4, or the fifth PMOS transistor P5 is turned on to transmit the first input signal a received by the drain of the fifth PMOS transistor P5 to the source of the fifth PMOS transistor P5.
