Abstract
A method and a device for maintaining logic state stored in a storage device are described. For one embodiment, the device precharges at least two complimentary nodes in a storage device during the precharge cycle. During the evaluation cycle, the device receives an input data. After receipt of the input data, device stores at least one logic state at a storage node according to the input data. The device includes at least one conducting path to limit one store per each evaluation stage.
Claims31
A method for maintaining logic state stored in a storage device comprising:
- precharging at least two complimentary nodes in said storage device during a precharge stage;
- holding an output value of said storage device during said precharge stage;
- receiving an input data during an evaluation stage;
- storing a logic state in said storage device in response to said input data;
- and
- providing at least one conductive path to limit one store per each said evaluation stage.
A method for maintaining logic state stored in a storage device comprising:
- precharging at least two complimentary nodes in said storage device during a precharge stage;
- receiving an input data during an evaluation stage;
- ignoring said input data when output data is stabilized during said evaluation stage;
- storing a logic state in said storage device in response to said input data;
- and
- providing at least one conductive path to limit one store per each said evaluation stage.
A device for performing edge trigger register comprising:
- a storage cell containing a plurality of complimentary nodes;
- a precharge circuit coupled to said storage cell for precharging at least one pair of said complimentary nodes;
- an output holder coupled to said storage cell for storing an output value;
- an input circuit coupled to said storage cell for setting up logic states at said complimentary nodes in response to said input data;
- and
- circuit coupled to said storage cell providing additional discharge channels to limit one latch at said complimentary nodes per each evaluation stage, wherein said storage includes a logic function.
