    Abstract: A low power memory bit line precharge scheme. A memory bit line is coupled to a first read precharge device. A second write precharge device is also coupled to the memory bit line and is to be enabled only in response to a memory write operation. The first read and second write precharge devices are sized such that their combined drive strength is sufficient to precharge the first memory bit line during a precharge period following a write operation.

    Abstract: A first pull-up transistor has a gate coupled to a clock signal line and a drain coupled to both a first pull-down transistor and a voltage clamp. A second pull-up transistor has a gate that is also coupled to the clock signal line and a drain coupled to both a second pull-down transistor and a voltage clamp. A shared pull-up transistor has a gate that is also coupled to the clock signal line and a drain coupled to both the first and second pull-down transistors. The shared pull-up transistor may be used to precharge an output node of the circuit. This circuit may be found useful in clock buffering applications.

    Abstract: A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) low-power, high speed logic circuit consisting of a cascaded chain of stages. The first stage is a pulsed domino logic circuit having one or more logic signal inputs for receiving data signals, and a timing input for receiving a clocking pulse that conditions the input pulse domino stage for evaluation during a brief window of time. The output of the pulsed domino circuit is connected to a chain of series-connected skewed static logic gates, each having the channel sizes of its pull-up and pull-down transistors ratioed to a produce, from gate-to-gate in the static logic chain, alternating fast high-to-low and low-to-high transitions for the information carrying leading edge of said input data signals. The use of a pulsed domino first stage driving a chain of skewed logic static gates reduces power consumption but retains the speed of conventional domino logic circuits.
