Abstract
A 'no select state' is implemented with self-resetting CMOS logic circuitry so as to essentially disable the resetting function of this logic circuitry when the logic circuitry is in an idle state. As an example, within a multiplier circuit in a processor, the selection inputs to a multiplexor circuit are de-selected when there is no need for the multiplier circuitry.
