An apparatus for controlling retention of data includes a logic circuit, a retention control cell circuit, and an I/O cell circuit. The logic circuit generates at least one retention enable signal before a chip enters a reduced power mode. The retention control cell circuit latches the retention enable signal and outputs a retention enable control signal based on a first power signal of the logic circuit and a detection result of a second power signal for input/output (I/O). And, the I/O cell circuit latches data based on the retention control signal. |
