Abstract:
An apparatus for buffering at least one output signal of a sense-amplifier arrangement for use with a first output and at least a second output of at least one of a propagate-generate-kill logic circuit and a domino logic circuit, the first output and the at least a second output being mutually exclusive in one logic state, the apparatus comprising:a cross-coupled transistor arrangement;wherein:the at least one output signal of the sense-amplifier arrangement is coupled to the at least one of the propagate-generate-kill logic circuit and the domino logic circuit; andthe first output and the at least a second output of the at least one of the propagate-generate-kill logic circuit and the domino logic circuit are coupled to the cross-coupled transistor arrangement for holding the first output and the at least a second output in another logic state.
