Abstract
A device includes a multiplexer circuit with a plurality of input circuits. Each input circuit is connected to a respective input node and a shared output node. The input circuits are configured to pass, in response to a respective control signal, a signal between the respective input and shared output node. An output circuit is configured to store data from the shared output node in a latch mode and to act as a buffer in a pass-through mode. A control circuit is configured to switch, in response to a configuration signal, the output circuit between the latch mode and the pass-through mode.
