Abstract
A decoder circuit includes a pulse powered stage having a plurality of fan-in inputs thereto, a dynamic stage fed by the pulse powered stage, and a replica node selectively coupled to an output node of the pulse powered stage by a pass device. The pass device and the dynamic stage are controlled by a clock signal so as to enable a self-timed evaluation of the pulse-powered stage with a clocked enablement of the dynamic stage.
