ABSTRACT:
Selector circuits and systems for single and multilevel selection within one clock cycle having a static switching factor on the output of a dynamic logic circuit. A logic device for single and multilevel selection having a dynamic logic circuit portion and a static logic circuit portion is implemented. In this way, an output logic state is maintained so long as the value of the Boolean operation being performed by the logic device does not change. Additionally, static logic elements may perform the inversions necessary to output both logic senses, mitigating the need to provide for dual-rail dynamic logic implementations. An asymmetric clock permits a concomitant decrease in the size of the precharge transistors thus ameliorating the area required by the logic element and obviating a need for keeper device.
