Abstract
A device includes a flip flop and a control circuit. The flip flop includes a flip flop data input terminal and a flip flop clock input terminal. The control circuit includes a control circuit data input terminal and a control circuit clock input terminal. The control circuit is configured to route, in a Data Processing Mode of the device, an incoming data signal from the control circuit data input terminal to the flip flop data input terminal and an incoming clock signal from the control circuit clock input terminal to the flip flop clock input terminal and to apply, in a Data Retention Mode of the device, a first given fixed signal value to the flip flop data input terminal independent of a value of the incoming data signal and a second given fixed signal value to the flip flop clock input terminal independent of a value of the incoming clock signal.
