Dual threshold voltage domino logic

Dual threshold voltage (DVT) domino logic utilizes dual V
t
's to provide the performance equivalent of a purely low V
t
design with the standby leakage characteristic of a purely high V
t
implementation. DVT domino logic is an attractive circuit style compared to other dual V
t
techniques because there are no performance penalties, no difficult transistor sizing issues, and all gates (not just non-critical ones) can be compensated. In fact, any low V
t
domino design can easily be converted to a dual V
t
implementation with superior characteristics.
