The request signal and the data are inputs to the data latch.

When the copy data has been outputted, the lock processing part (16g) performs a data lock process of inhibiting the data set stored in the storing part (15) from being changed.

By latching the data according to the inverted clock, the data is not latched during state transitions thereof and metastability is avoided.

Minimised data lock-in and ensure undistorted competition;

The infamous data-locking Ransomware: this is the most commonly spread category of this malware.

Because the data has been latched at each pipeline stage, it suffers from less skew than would be seen in a conventional wave pipeline architecture.

The latch controller disables the latch upon receipt of the done signal, and re-enables the data latch upon receipt of the acknowledgment signal from the next stage.
