    摘要: A data storage element comprises a master stage (MS) with a first and a second latch (LI, L2), an error stage (ES) and a slave stage (SLS). The first latch (LI) generates in a clocked fashion based on a clock signal (CLK, CLKT, CLKB) a first logical signal (DOUT1) based on an input signal (DATA) in relation to a first threshold level (TP1). The second latch generates (L2) in a clocked fashion based on the clock signal (CLK, CLKT, CLKB) a second logical signal (DOUT2) based on the input signal (DATA) in relation to a second threshold level (TP2). The second threshold level (TP2) is distinct from the first threshold level (TP1). The error stage provides an error signal (ER) with a first logical state if the first and the second logical signal (DOUT1 , DOUT2) have the same logical state, and with a second logical state they have different logical states. The slave stage (SLS) sets an output value (Q) of the data storage element to a common logical state of the first and the second logical signal (DOUT1 , DOUT2) when the error signal (ER) has the first logical state, and keeps the output value (Q) unchanged otherwise.

    摘要翻译: 数据存储元件包括具有第一和第二锁存器(LI,L2),错误级(ES)和从级(SLS)的主级(MS)。 基于相对于第一阈值电平(TP1)的输入信号(DATA),第一锁存器(LI)基于时钟信号(CLK,CLKT,CLKB)生成第一逻辑信号(DOUT1)。 基于相对于第二阈值电平(TP2)的输入信号(DATA),第二逻辑信号(DOUT2)基于时钟信号(CLK,CLKT,CLKB)以时钟方式产生(L2)。 第二阈值水平(TP2)与第一阈值水平(TP1)不同。 如果第一和第二逻辑信号(DOUT1,DOUT2)具有相同的逻辑状态,则误差级提供具有第一逻辑状态的误差信号(ER),并且在第二逻辑状态下,它们具有不同的逻辑状态。 当错误信号(ER)具有第一逻辑状态时,从属级(SLS)将数据存储元件的输出值(Q)设置为第一和第二逻辑信号(DOUT1,DOUT2)的公共逻辑状态,以及 保持输出值(Q)不变。
