DATA-RETENTION LATCH FOR SLEEP MODE APPLICATION

摘要

A latch includes a data input terminal for receiving a data signal; a data output terminal for outputting the data signal; a first control terminal for receiving a control signal to set or reset the data signal derived from the data output terminal; a sleep signal input terminal for receiving a sleep signal to determine a sleep mode; a first logic circuit having input terminals coupled to the data input terminal, the first control terminal and the sleep signal input terminal and an output terminal coupled to the data output terminal; and a second logic circuit having input terminals coupled to the data output terminal, the first control terminal and the sleep signal input terminal and an output terminal coupled to the data input terminal; wherein the first logic circuit or the second logic circuit ignores the first control signal in response to the sleep signal when the latch is operated in the sleep mode.
