Abstract
A storage circuit, a method, a device and a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The storage circuit includes a first storage circuit instance having a first physical storage circuit, a second storage circuit instance having one or more pairs of second physical storage circuits; and a selection circuit to select, for a given output of the storage circuit system, an output from the first storage circuit instance or an output from the second storage circuit instance.
Claims19
A storage circuit comprising:
- a first storage circuit instance, wherein the first storage circuit instance comprises a first physical storage circuit;
- a second storage circuit instance, wherein the second storage circuit instance comprises one or more pairs of second physical storage circuits;
- and
- a selection circuit, wherein the selection circuit is operable to select, for a given output of the storage circuit, an output from the first storage circuit instance or an output from the second storage circuit instance;
- wherein a number of outputs of the first physical storage circuit matches the number of outputs of each of the one or more pairs of second physical storage circuits.
A method of operating a storage circuit, the storage circuit comprising a first storage circuit instance, wherein the first storage circuit instance comprises a first physical storage circuit;
- a second storage circuit instance, wherein the second storage circuit instance comprises one or more pairs of second physical storage circuits;
- wherein a number of outputs of the first physical storage circuit matches the number of outputs of each of the one or more pairs of second physical storage circuits;
- and a selection circuit, the method comprising:
- selecting, by the selection circuit, for a given output of the storage circuit system, an output from the first storage circuit instance or an output from the second storage circuit instance.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable code for fabrication of a storage circuit comprising:
- a first storage circuit instance, wherein the first storage circuit instance comprises a first physical storage circuit;
- a second storage circuit instance, wherein the second storage circuit instance comprises one or more pairs of second physical storage circuits;
- and
- a selection circuit, wherein the selection circuit is operable to select, for a given output of the storage circuit system, an output from the first storage circuit instance or an output from the second storage circuit instance;
- wherein a number of outputs of the first physical storage circuit matches a number of outputs of each of the one or more pairs of second physical storage circuits.
