Application of Gating Clock Technology in IC Design
Chun Cao · Radio Engineering · 2010
As the digital IC design scale is increasing,lower power becomes increasingly important.By analyzing the realization method of clock gating,we describe the effectiveness of this technology to reduce power consumption,and analyze in detail the realization of the logic-gated clock and register-gated clock with examples.It is proved that gated clock can reduce power consumption without increasing the layout design complexity or affecting the existing workflow.At the same time the technology could also improve timing and chip area.
