Abstract
An apparatus may include a storage circuit that may have a first terminal and a second terminal and may have two cross-coupled inverters. The apparatus may include a feedback circuit coupled to the first terminal. The feedback circuit may include electronic logic elements to determine if the storage circuit is in a metastable state. The feedback circuit may couple at least one of the first and second terminals to one of a voltage reference and a voltage source if determined that the storage circuit is in a metastable state.
