Abstract
An a new dynamic logic entry latch or new “ELAT” and a method to capture a static input and convert it to a single rail dynamic signal with improved functionality and reduced clock and input load. The new ELAT utilizes a pulsed evaluate concept to enable more complex pull-down stack configurations and other improvements. The pulsed evaluate concept uses a pulse generators driven by the static input and a clock waveform to evaluate the static input and appropriately drive field effect transmitters on the pull-down stack. Utilizing multiple-input pulse generators or multiple pulse generators, the new ELAT can allow a wider variety of input functions and their inverses to be constructed without over-loading the pull-down stack.
