Abstract
Dual threshold voltage (DVT) domino logic utilizes dual Vt ´s to provide the performance equivalent of a purely low Vt design with the standby leakage characteristic of a purely high Vt implementation. DVT domino logic is an attractive circuit style compared to other dual Vt techniques 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 Vt domino design can easily be converted to a dual Vt implementation with superior characteristics.
