    摘要: In a method and system for data retention, a data input is latched by a first latch. A second latch coupled to the first latch receives the data input for retention while the first latch is inoperative in a standby power mode. The first latch receives power from a first power line that is switched off during the standby power mode. The second latch receives power from a second power line. A controller receives a clock input and a retention signal and provides a clock output to the first latch and the second latch. A change in the retention signal is indicative of a transition to the standby power mode. The controller continues to hold the clock output at a predefined voltage level and the second latch continues to receive power from the second power line in the standby power mode, thereby retaining the data input.

    摘要: In a method and apparatus for data retention, a first latch latches a data input and a second latch that is coupled to the first latch retains the data input while the first latch is inoperative in a standby power mode. The second latch includes a second latch inverter having an inverter input and an inverter output. A switching circuit, which may be implemented as a tristate inverter, is coupled to the inverter output, the inverter input, and a retention signal. The switching circuit is operable in the standby power mode to assert a logic state at the inverter input responsive to the retention signal. The logic state is in accordance with the data input retained in the standby power mode. A standby power source is operable to provide power in the standby power mode to the second latch inverter, the switching circuit and the retention input.
