SELECTIVELY CROSS-COUPLED INVERTERS, AND RELATED DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS

Abstract:

An apparatus may include a first inverter and a second inverter cross-coupled between a first node and a second node to store a signal state represented by complementary voltages at the first node and the second node. The apparatus may further include a first path defined by the second inverter that includes an impedance element to resist a flow of charge suitable to change the signal state. The apparatus may further include the first inverter and a third inverter selectively cross-coupled between the first node and the second node to store a received signal state represented by the complementary voltages at the first node and the second node responsive to an assertion of a write enable signal.
