Abstract
A CMOS switching circuit that includes a charge reservoir and a multiplexer connected to the charge reservoir. The multiplexer receives control signals from a delay line and a control signal line, and it delivers a switching signal to an output terminal. A first set of signals delivered to the control terminals of the multiplexer causes the charge reservoir to deliver charge to the output terminal, and a second set of signals delivered to the control terminals causes charging of the charge reservoir. With the charge reservoir, charge from falling signals is conserved and used to help rising signals at the output, reducing the power required to provide an output switching signal.
