Abstract
A dynamic switching circuit for use in a domino circuit array is disclosed. The dynamic switching circuit includes a charge-saving transistor for preventing charge stored on the dynamic circuit's output node from discharging to ground. The charge stored on the output node is then fed back to a precharge control transistor to charge the dynamic node during the subsequent precharge/evaluate cycle.
