1. A method for designing keeper circuitry for dynamic circuits, the method comprising:

  • providing a keeper circuitry description wherein keeper circuitry described by the keeper circuitry description has a circuit path through the keeper circuitry;

    substantially maximizing peak current along the circuit path to improve noise tolerance of the dynamic circuit; and

    substantially minimizing average current along the circuit path to reduce performance overhead due to the keeper circuitry.
