ABSTRACT:
An limited-switch dynamic logic (LSDL) circuit provides reduced power consumption by reducing clock power dissipation. By clocking LSDL gates with a clock signal having a reduced voltage swing in the evaluation phase, the LSDL gates are permitted to operate, while reducing the clock power consumption dramatically. Since clock power consumption dominates in LSDL circuits, the reduction in clock power dissipation results in a significant reduction in overall circuit power consumption. The reduced swing clock is produced at a plurality of local clock buffers by supplying the local clock buffers with an extra power supply rail that is switched onto the clock distribution lines by the local clock buffers in response to the full-swing evaluate phase clock received from the global clock distribution network by the local clock buffers.
