ABSTRACT:
An improved self-restore circuit and method for restoring the output line of a dynamic logic circuit. The self-restore circuit includes two transistors connected in series between the output line and the reference voltage node. The first transistor activates after an evaluation of the output line, while the second transistor only activates subsequent to the activation of the first transistor and the completion of an evaluation cycle. The self-restore circuit reduces the power consumption and safeguards against any soft error hits, wherein the second transistor protects against any soft error hits by actively pulling up the output line to the appropriate voltage.
