Abstract
A device and method for reducing the power consumption of an electronic device using register file with bypass mechanism. The width of a pulse controlling the word write operation may be extended twice as long so that the extended portion substantially overlaps a following word read pulse. The extension of the pulse width of the read operation may enable lowering the Vcc Min value for the electronic device and thus may lower the power consumption of the device.
