Abstract
A method includes receiving a selection signal from a third-party device and a status signal from the third-party device. A data signal from the third-party device is latched when both the selection signal and the status signal are active. In addition, a second selection signal and a second status signal can be received from a second third-party device and a second data signal latched when both the second selection signal and the second status signal are active.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- receiving a selection signal from a third-party device;
- receiving a status signal from the third-party device;
- and
- latching a data signal from the third-party device when both the selection signal and the status signal are active.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving a first selection signal from a first third-party device;
- receiving a first status signal from the first third-party device;
- receiving a second selection signal from a second third-party device;
- receiving a second status signal from the second third-party device;
- and
- latching a first data signal from the first third-party device when both the first selection signal and the first status signal are active or latching a second data signal from the second third-party device when both the second selection signal and the second status signal are active.
3 more elements
A latch circuit comprising:
- means for generating an activation signal based on a selection signal received from a third-party device and a status signal received from the third-party device, the activation signal being generated when both the selection signal and the status signal are active;
- and
- a D latch having an activation input coupled to receive the activation signal and a data input configured to be coupled to the third-party device to receive a data signal, the D latch being configured to store the data signal in response to the activation signal.
