Abstract :
Domino logic circuits have become extremely popular in the design of today´s high performance processors because they offer fast switching speeds and reduced areas. However, the use of domino logic introduces many design risks because it is very sensitive to noise, circuit and layout topologies. This paper identifies issues that might cause domino logic circuits to fail, and discusses some possible solutions to alleviate these problems
