ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for a register cell that is configured to store information. The cell includes a multiplexer that is configurable to select various inputs when the multiplexer is in various states. The multiplexer is configurable to select a first input when the multiplexer is in a first state, and to select a second input when the multiplexer is in a second state. The multiplexer is further configured to provide storage data, the first input being configured to receive data from outside the cell. An output element, such as a second multiplexer, is configured to receive a word enable. The output of the first multiplexer is delayed in a delay element, and is provided as one of the inputs to the first multiplexer.
