Abstract
In the Retirement Payload Array (RPA) of a microprocessor, the signal 'READ' is logically combined with the primary clock signal 'CLK' in a control circuit of a modified glitch latch such that the glitch latch will only reset, and therefore a reset edge or “glitch” will only appear, when new data is read and the signal IN will return to zero and allow the modified glitch latch to recover.
