REGISTER CELL AND METHOD FOR WRITING INTO SAID REGISTER CELL

摘要

The invention relates to a register cell which comprises a first input (10) for a data unit to be written into said register cell. The register cell further comprises a second input (12) for a negated data unit to be written into the register cell. A first pair (14) of cross-coupled inverters (14a, 14b) can be coupled with the first input (10) as the first memory circuit. A second pair of cross-coupled inverters (16a, 16b) can be coupled with the second input (12) as the second memory circuit. The use of two cross-coupled pairs of inverters allows to initialize (30) the first input (10) and the second input (12) of the register either at a high voltage status (precharge) or at a low voltage status (discharge) in such a manner as to render the power consumption of the register cell from one cycle to the next more uniform.
