An apparatus and method provide an apparatus and method for reducing noise production and power consumption in a logic device that uses traditional domino encoded signals. In particular, the apparatus is accomplished by a recode circuitry that receives and recodes a traditional domino encoded signal received from a first logic circuit in the logic device, into a reduced switching signal. The recode circuitry sends the reduced switching signal to a second logic circuit. A decode circuitry receives and decodes the reduced switching signal back into a traditional domino encoded signal. The decode circuitry then sends the traditional domino encoded signal to a second logic circuit in the logic device. The method is accomplished by receiving a traditional domino encoded signal from a first logic circuit. The traditional domino encoded signal is converted into a reduced switching signal and transmitted. The reduced switching signal is received and converted back into the traditional domino encoded signal.
