Claims12
A circuit comprising:
- a first plurality of latches including feedback control circuitry;
- a plurality of data input terminals and data output terminals respectively coupled to alternative sides of said first plurality of latches;
- a second plurality of latches including feedback control circuitry;
- and
- said first and second plurality of latches coupled so as to exchange digital electronic signals stored therein between said first and second plurality based, at least in part, on applied control signals.

A circuit comprising:
- a plurality of latches including feedback control circuitry;
- a plurality of data input terminals and data output terminals respectively coupled to alternative sides of said plurality of latches;
- additional circuitry coupled to restore specific electronic signals, when stored in said plurality of latches, to a voltage substantially equivalent with a power supply voltage for said circuit;
- and
- wherein said feedback control circuitry comprises pass-gates, and
- wherein said plurality of latches are coupled via pass-gates.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of latches, including
- a first latch and a second latch;
