Abstract
According to an embodiment, an apparatus includes a data storage device. Data to be stored in the data storage device is level shifted from a first voltage domain to a second voltage domain prior to being stored within the data storage device. The data storage device is powered by the second voltage domain. The apparatus further includes a circuit that is powered by the second voltage domain and that is responsive to data output by the data storage device.
