ABSTRACT:
A storage device and a method in the storage element, where the storage element has a first data storage node and a second data storage node and where the first data storage node is coupled to a bit line via a first pass transistor and where the second data storage node is coupled to a complementary bit line via a second pass transistor, is provided. The method includes performing a clear operation on the first data storage node and the second data storage node by providing a clear signal to a first clear transistor coupled to the first data storage node and a second clear transistor coupled to the second data storage node.
