摘要:
A bias generator unit is provided that includes a central bias generator to provide a bias voltage, a local bias generator to receive the bias voltage and a reference voltage and to provide a forward body bias signal or a reverse body bias signal. The bias generator may include a charge pump to output (or provide) a reference voltage to a reference generator, which in turn provides reference signals to the central bias generator. As a result, the local bias generator may control the body bias signal provided by the local bias generator.

An amplification apparatus is provided that includes a plurality of gain stages including a first gain stage having first and second transistors and a second gain stage having third and fourth transistors. A plurality of replica stages may also be provided that includes a first replica stage and a second replica stage. Each replica stage may correspond/match one of the plurality of gain stages. An amplifying device may be provided to adjust a body potential of at least the first transistor of the first gain based on an output of the first replica stage and an output of the second replica stage.

A method and system for leakage current reduction in domino circuits is described. The system includes a domino circuit with a dynamic gate, a static gate, and a standby signal to set the domino circuit to an evaluate phase during an inactive mode. The inputs to the static gate are set to low and the inputs to the dynamic gate are set to high during the inactive mode. The standby signal may be an input to a device in the dynamic gate or an input to a latch coupled to the dynamic gate.
