ABSTRACT:
A storage element (100, 200) is capable of statically storing a dynamic input signal, and providing that static signal to dynamic logic gates. The element receives at least two input logic signals (150, 170), one of which is a dynamic signal (150) that may be one wire of a 1-of-N signal used in FAST14 logic from a dynamic logic gate (72) that may be a NDL gate, and generates one or more static logic output signals (190, 192). The element, which may or may not receive a clock signal (160), holds its outputs until its dynamic input (150) switches value on a subsequent evaluate cycle and at least one other input, which may be a write enable signal (170), changes signal value. In an alternative embodiment (200), the element may not change output values until a reset signal (330) is received during a prior clock cycle.
