Abstract:
A sticky signal generator comprising:a plurality of shifting means for shifting input data by a shifting width in response to at least one of a plurality of shifting width control signals, wherein the size of said plurality of shifting means is equal to the size of said input data, and said plurality of shifting means are coupled serially to each other;a plurality of selecting means for selecting and outputting bits which are discarded by said plurality of shifting means during shifting operation in response to said at least one of the plurality of shifting width control signals, wherein each input terminal of said plurality of selecting means is coupled to each of corresponding shifting means; anda detecting means for determining if a bit of a predetermined logic level is included in at least one of outputs from said plurality of selecting means, and outputting a sticky signal in case said bit of the predetermined logic level is included in at least one of said outputs.
