Abstract
A flip flop standard cell that includes a data input terminal configured to receive a data signal, clock input terminal configured to receive a clock signal, a data output terminal, and a latch. A bit write circuit is configured to receive a bit write signal. The received data signal is latched and provided at the output terminal in response to the bit write signal and the clock signal. A hold circuit is configured to receive a hold signal, and the received data signal is not latched and provided at the data output terminal in response to the hold signal and the clock signal.
