  • Memory unit, information processing device, and method
    Patent number: 9116701
    Abstract: A memory unit comprises at least two volatile memory elements, analyzing circuitry and power gate. The memory elements may for example be latches, flip-flops, or registers. Each of the memory elements has at least two different states including a predefined reset state. The analyzing circuitry generates a power-down enable signal in response to each of the memory elements being in its reset state. The power gate powers down the memory elements in response to the power-down enable signal. The memory elements may be arranged to assume their reset states upon powering up the memory unit.
    Type: Grant
