ABSTRACT:
A charge recycling power gate and corresponding method are provided for using a charge sharing effect between a capacitive load of a functional unit and a parasitic capacitance of a charge recycling means to turn on a switching means between a virtual ground and a ground, the charge recycling power gate including a first transistor, a virtual ground in signal communication with a first terminal of the first transistor, a ground in signal communication with a second terminal of the first transistor, a capacitor having a first terminal in signal communication with a third terminal of the first transistor and a second terminal in signal communication with the ground, and a second transistor having a first terminal in signal communication with the virtual ground and a second terminal in signal communication with the third terminal of the first transistor.
