Abstract

A domino logic circuit is configured to reduce power consumption. In a first embodiment, a sleep switch (216) grounds the dynamic node (128) during sleep mode. In a second embodiment, a low-swing circuit (930) at the output reduces the output and keeper transistor gate voltage swings. A third embodiment combines those two techniques.
