ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for selectively enhancing the soft error rate (SER) immunity of a dynamic logic circuit. The apparatus includes a bootstrap capacitor coupled to a precharge input signal and a dynamic node of the dynamic logic circuit, and a device, such as an FET, for selectively connecting the bootstrap capacitor to the dynamic node.
