Abstract
A semiconductor circuit includes: a first stage block including first stage dynamic circuits, configured to output a predischarged result to blocks cascade connected to later stages, each of the first stage dynamic circuit includes predischarge elements connected to dynamic nodes of the first stage dynamic circuits to predischarge the dynamic nodes, configured such that the dynamic nodes are precharged with a predetermined cycle; a predischarge signal generating circuit configured to generate a predischarge signal to actuate the respective predischarge elements before precharge timing of the dynamic nodes of the first stage dynamic circuits; and next stage blocks including next stage dynamic circuits, configured to output predischarge results to blocks cascade connected to later stages, each of the next stage dynamic circuit configured to input the predischarge result of the previous block so as to predischarge dynamic nodes, configured such that the dynamic nodes are precharged with a predetermined cycle.
