Abstract:
According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a first power signal having a high voltage. The apparatus may include a second power signal having a low voltage. The apparatus may include a third power signal having a voltage configured to switch between the high voltage and the low voltage. The apparatus may include a latching circuit powered by the first power signal and the second power signal. The apparatus may include a selection circuit configured to select between, at least, a first data signal and a second data signal, and powered by the first power signal, the second power signal, and the third power signal.
