Abstract
The present invention may provide a digital memory circuit comprising a plurality of multi-bit registers, a memory circuit interface, and a logic circuit. The memory circuit interface may be configured to access a selected one of the registers. The logic circuit may be coupled to the plurality of multi-bit registers and responsive to data received through the interface for selectively writing a predetermined logic state to at least one first bit of the selected register while leaving at least one second bit in the selected register with an unmodified state.
