20110041018 | MULTI-MODE PROGRAMMABLE SCAN FLOP - A scannable flop circuit configured for operation in a multiple modes. The scannable flop circuit includes a functional flop having a data input, a clock input, and a data output, a scan flop having a scan data input and a scan data output, and a latch circuit coupled between the functional flop and the scan flop. The latch circuit includes one or more mode signal inputs to enable selection of an operating mode. In a first mode, the latch circuit is configured to enable the functional flop to provide a data signal to the scan flop. In a second mode, the latch circuit is configured to enable the scan flop to provide a data signal to the functional flop. In a third mode, the latch circuit is configured to provide a feedback path in order to feed back to the functional flop a signal generated by the functional flop. | 02-17-2011 |
20120124316 | LEAKAGE REDUCTION IN STORAGE ELEMENTS VIA OPTIMIZED RESET STATES - Various methods are provided for leakage reduction via optimized reset states and improving performance for storage elements. The methods include selecting a storage element, where the storage element comprises at least one storage element component sized to reduce static current leakage or at least one storage element component adapted to increase at least one of speed or performance of the storage element. The methods also call for determining a preferred reset state for the storage element, wherein the preferred reset state is based at least upon the reduction of static current leakage, the speed or the performance of the storage element. The methods also call for setting the storage element reset state to the preferred reset state. An additional method calls for determining if a storage element spends a predetermined amount of time in a static state, and determining a preferred reset state for the storage element based upon at least the static state in which the storage element spends the at least a predetermined amount of time. The additional method also calls for setting a preferred reset state based at least upon the static state in which the storage element spends the at least a predetermined amount of time. | 05-17-2012 |
