Abstract
A dynamic module output device and methods thereof are disclosed. The dynamic module output device is connected to a dynamic module. The dynamic module output device provides the output of the dynamic module via two pathways. The first pathway is a direct output from the dynamic module. The second pathway includes a latch that stores the output of the dynamic module. The two output pathways are connected to a logic gate connected to downstream circuitry. Accordingly, data is provided to downstream circuitry rapidly via the first pathway, while being latched to allow the data to be available to the downstream circuitry after the evaluation phase. Such a parallel latching configuration provides enhanced efficiency in transfer and processing of information, especially in conjunction with utilization of precharge and evaluation phases.
