ABSTRACT:
A storage device and methods thereof are disclosed. The device includes a clock control module and a latch. During normal operation, the clock control module provides a periodic clock signal to a clock input of the latch, allowing the latch to operate normally. In a low power mode of operation, the clock control module provides a constant signal to the clock input of the latch so that the latch retains stored data during the low power mode of operation. The storage device can also include a power control module that provides a first power level to the latch in the normal mode of operation and a second power level during the second mode of operation.
