ABSTRACT:
Circuitry for eliminating charge sharing noise in MOS dynamic logic circuits is described. Dynamic logic circuits having stacks of MOS devices controlling the state of a common node defining the output logic state of the circuit are susceptible to charge sharing noise. This noise ultimately arises from leakage and stray capacitances at the nodes between MOS devices in each stack which the common node must supply. The noise is eliminated by employing MOS devices associated with the MOS devices in the stacks to couple the nodes between stack MOS devices to a supply voltage until their associated stack device changes logic state. On the changing state of the associated stack device, the node charging MOS device turns off, allowing the nodes to assume states defined by the input signals to the dynamic logic circuit.
