Systems and methods for a bypass flip flop with transparency

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for a data storage element. A data input is configured to receive input data to the data storage element. A latching element is configured to hold input data that is received from the data input. A pulse generator is configured to assert a pulse signal based on a clock signal, and a multiplexer is configured to select for output from the data storage element, responsively to the pulse signal, one of the input data that is received from the data input without passing through the latching element and the input data held in the latching element.

1. A data storage element, comprising:
a data input configured to receive input data to the data storage element; a latching element that is configured to hold input data that is received from the data input, wherein the latching element comprises a master latch and a slave latch, wherein the master latch captures input data from the data input based on a clock signal, and wherein the slave latch captures input data from the master latch based on the clock signal; a pulse generator that is configured to assert a pulse signal based on the clock signal; and a multiplexer that is configured to select for output from the data storage element, responsively to the pulse signal, one of the input data that is received from the data input without passing through the latching element and the input data held in the latching element.
