Abstract

The present invention is a novel method of interfacing static logic to domino logic. A static logic block is connected to one input of a domino evaluation tree. The domino evaluation tree operates only during a brief window of time, while an evaluation control block is ON. Since the input to the domino gate only must be stable during this brief window of time, there is no need to latch the output of the static logic.
