Abstract
A dynamic decode circuit for decoding a plurality of input signals comprises a decoder that decodes the plurality of input signals to produce a result at a first node, the result is propagated to a second node while an evaluation clock is active by a pair of serially connected transistors consisting of a transistor receiving an evaluation clock at its gate and a transistor receiving the first node at its gate, the interconnection of the pair of serially connected transistors is precharged when the evaluation clock is inactive to provide a delay between the end of the active evaluation clock and the beginning of the precharge.
