Abstract

A method and implementing structure for a domino block circuit 200 includes a minimal component latching circuit 203 which is merged with an exemplary MUX functional block 201, to provide both inverting and latching functions with minimal propagation delay in the domino data path. Implementations with scanning circuitry and including a holding feature are also illustrated.
