Abstract:
A decoder circuit with reduced leakage configured to decode an address and drive one of a number of word lines may be implemented with two-high logic gates in a pre-decode stage, a decode stage, and a word line driver stage. Such decoder circuits may include, in the word line driver stage, a number of two-high NOR gates configured to drive one of a number of word lines. In some embodiments, the two-high logic gates that share common inputs are implemented with multi-output static logic.
