Domino logic is a CMOS-based evolution of the dynamic logic techniques which were based on either PMOS or NMOS transistors. Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor ( CMOS) (pronounced "see-moss" siːmɔːs ˈsiːmɒs is a major class of Integrated circuits CMOS technology In Integrated circuit design dynamic logic (or sometimes clocked logic) is a design methodology Logic family in digital logic that was popular In Electronics, a transistor is a Semiconductor device commonly used to amplify or switch electronic signals It allows a rail-to-rail logic swing. It was developed to speed up circuits.
In a cascade structure consisting of several stages, the evaluation of each stage ripples the next stage evaluation, similar to a domino falling one after the other. The structure is hence called Domino CMOS Logic.
Important features include:
- 1. They have smaller areas than conventional CMOS logic.
- 2. Parasitic capacitances are smaller so that higher operating speeds are possible.
- 3. Operation is free of glitches as each gate can make only one transition.
- 4. Only non-inverting structures are possible because of the presence of inverting buffer.
- 5. Charge distribution may be a problem.
