Abstract

The present invention system and method provides voltage level support for an output target signal (e.g., a dynamic node output signal) that “keeps” the output target signal at a particular voltage level with efficient suspension of the voltage level maintenance or support during an evaluation transition period (e.g., a read operation) of the output target signal.
