Abstract:
A data buffer comprises data storage circuitry; input circuitry to input data to be stored by the data storage circuitry at a first operating voltage; output circuitry to output stored data from the data storage circuitry at a second operating voltage different to the first operating voltage; and control circuitry to control an operating voltage of the data storage circuitry to be substantially the first operating voltage during a data input operation by the input circuitry and to be substantially the second operating voltage during a data output operation by the output circuitry.

Claim (Index 17):
A data buffer according to  claim 16 , in which the control circuitry comprises:\n one or more power gating switches configured to selectively connect the power supply inputs of the first-mentioned data buffer and the second data buffer to first or second power rails corresponding to the first and second operating voltages respectively, and an interconnection switch configured to connect the power supply inputs of the first-mentioned data buffer and the second data buffer together; the control circuitry being configured, in response to initiation of a change in the operating voltages of the first-mentioned and second data storage circuitry, to control the interconnection switch to temporarily connect the power supply inputs of the first-mentioned data buffer and the second data buffer together, and then to control the one or more power gating switches to connect the power supply inputs of the first-mentioned data storage circuitry and the second data storage circuitry to respective ones of the first and second power rails.
