Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 11:
12. A circuit, comprising:
a memory;
a path selector having a decoder, a multiplexer, and an output, the path selector configured to receive a control signal, an output of the decoder coupled to drive the multiplexer, the path selector configured to generate in response to the control signal, an output signal that indicates at least one selected data path; and
a gating circuit coupled to the path selector and comprising a plurality of clock gates, a first plurality of logic gates, a second plurality of logic gates, and a decoder, wherein outputs of the first plurality of logic gates are coupled to inputs of the decoder, and outputs of the decoder are coupled to inputs of the second plurality of logic gates, wherein the clock gates are configured to enable an external device to access the memory via the at least one selected data paths in response to the output signal from the path selector.
