→Advantages: Running *any* circuit at 1/2 the normal voltage makes it consume about 1/4 the normal power. How is that an advantage of dynamic logic over normal logic? |

== Advantages ==
Dynamic logic (properly designed) is over twice as fast as normal logic. It uses only fast N transistors, and is amenable to transistor sizing optimizations. Static logic is slower because it has twice the loading, higher thresholds, and actually uses slow P transistors to compute things. Domino logic may be harder to work with, but if you need the speed, there is no other choice. Anything you buy that runs over 2GHz in 2007 uses dynamic logic. Another advantage is low power. A dynamic logic circuit running at 1/2 voltage will consume 1/4 the power of normal logic{{fact}}. Also each rail can convey an arbitrary number of bits, and there are no power-wasting glitches. Also power-saving clock gating and asynchronous techniques are much more natural in dynamic logic.
