Abstract

A data processing circuit includes first and second signal paths, wherein the first signal path is a speed critical path. The first signal path includes a first logic gate (FIG. 22) for performing a predetermined logic operation, and the second signal path includes a second logic gate (FIG. 23) for performing the predetermined logic operation more slowly and with less power consumption than the first logic gate.
