Abstract

An embodiment of a full-swing, source-follower leakage tolerant dynamic logic gate comprises an nMOSFET logic to conditionally charge a node during an evaluation phase, and to charge the node to a relatively small voltage during the pre-charge phase so that the nMOSFET logic becomes reverse-biased.
