ABSTRACT:
A dynamic circuit latch, having the functionality of a domino circuit and a transparent latch, without the delay associated with the inclusion of a separate series latch element. Embodiments include a fast scannable footed Domino dyanmic latch. Also described is a fast scannable delay reset Domino dynamic latch. A fast scannable compound Domino dynamic latch is also described.
