Abstract
A circuit that has a limited switch dynamic logic gate having a front end logic circuit and a latch. The output of the front end logic circuit is connected to an input of the latch, and the front end logic circuit evaluates a set of input signals applied to the front end logic circuit to generate an output signal. The latch receives and holds the output signal. The circuit also has a logic circuit having an output connected to a clock input in the front end logic circuit. The logic circuit generates a modified clock signal in response to receiving a clock signal from a clock source, and the modified clock signal has a duration that provides a minimum period of time for the front end logic to evaluate the set of input signals and generate the output signal.
