Leakage current reduction scheme for domino circuits

摘要

A method and system for leakage current reduction in domino circuits is described. The system includes a domino circuit with a dynamic gate, a static gate, and a standby signal to set the domino circuit to an evaluate phase during an inactive mode. The inputs to the static gate are set to low and the inputs to the dynamic gate are set to high during the inactive mode. The standby signal may be an input to a device in the dynamic gate or an input to a latch coupled to the dynamic gate.
