  • Abstract
    Dual threshold voltage (DVT) domino logic utilizes dual Vt´s to provide the performance equivalent of a purely low Vtdesign with the standby leakage characteristic of a purely high Vtimplementation. DVT domino logic is an attractive circuit style compared to other dual Vttechniques because there are no performance penalties, no difficult transistor sizing issues, and all gates (not just non-critical ones) can be compensated. In fact, any low Vtdomino design can easily be converted to a dual Vtimplementation with superior characteristics.
