Abstract
A storage element () is capable of statically storing a dynamic input signal, and providing that static signal to dynamic logic gates. The element receives at least two input logic signals (), one of which is a dynamic signal () that may be one wire of a 1-of-N signal used in FAST14 logic from a dynamic logic gate () that may be a NDL gate, and generates one or more static logic output signals (). The element, which may or may not receive a clock signal (), holds its outputs until its dynamic input () switches value on a subsequent evaluate cycle and at least one other input, which may be a write enable signal (), changes signal value. In an alternative embodiment (), the element may not change output values until a reset signal () is received during a prior clock cycle.
