Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for body control in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) domino circuits. The silicon-on-insulator (SOI) domino circuit includes a clock input and an input transistor stack including a plurality of input transistors. Each of the plurality of input transistors receives a data input. An intermediate precharge node is connected to the input transistor stack. An output inverter is connected to the intermediate precharge node. The output inverter includes a pair of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) transistors. A clocked transistor is connected to a body of at least one of the pair of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) transistors. The clocked transistor predischarges the body of the SOI transistor. Another clocked transistor is connected between ground and a body of an evaluate transistor connected to the input transistor stack. The body of the evaluate transistor is predischarged by the clocked transistor.
