ABSTRACT:
A low power storage cell includes a flip-flop circuit along with associated circuitry to place the flip-flop in an access mode for reading data and in a storage mode when the flip-flop is not being accessed. In the storage mode the flip-flop stores data at very low voltage and current levels, thus greatly reducing power consumption. Reduced power consumption in the storage mode permits the device to retain data for long periods of time, in the event of power failure, with minimal backup power supply capacity.
