Abstract
A first data store circuit is coupled to first and second voltage nodes of first and second voltage levels, respectively, and a control circuit outputs a transfer signal and a switching signal. A data transfer circuit is coupled between the first data store circuit and a second data store circuit and selectively transfers the data in the first data store circuit to the second data store circuit in response to the transfer signal. A first conductive line supplies the first voltage level to the second data store circuit and a second conductive line supplies the second voltage level to the second data store circuit. A first switch circuit is coupled between the second voltage node and the second conductive line and selectively connects the second voltage node to the second conductive line in response to the switching signal. Also a resistive element is coupled between the second conductive line and the first voltage node.
