Abstract
A booster circuit for reducing the nominal latency of a logic gate. The booster circuit includes a charge sharing mechanism to transfer a stored charge to the output of the logic gate in response to a logic state transition on the input of the logic gate. The transfer of stored charge also reduces the charge drawn from the supply during the output transition.
