Clock gating is an effective way of reducing the dynamic power dissipation in digital circuits. In a typical synchronous circuit such as the general purpose microprocessor, only a portion of the circuit is active at any given time. Hence, by shutting down the idle portion of the circuit, the...
Setup check: The clock gating setup check isused to ensure the EN is are stable before the clock is active. A clock gating setup failure can cause a glitch at the leading edge of the clock. 2. clock gating hold check is used to ensure that the EN is stable while the clock is active...

There is another problem with above latch based clock gating. The wire between latch output and AND gate input needs to be carefully routed, else it would result in weird violations. But you know, that’s also been resolved. You just need to find out how, in my STA-2 course. The init...
Fig. 1: Example of inactive blocks/interface gating Consider a typical multi-bit flip-flop logic with enable (EN), as shown in Fig. 2. Updating of the flip-flop is done based on flip-flop enable; otherwise, the old value is retained. ...
Clock gating, Low power, High performance, Microarchitecture, Circuits. 1. INTRODUCTION Clock power is a key design constraint in modern VLSI design. Despite increases in leakage power, clock power remains a signifi- cant part of the total power dissipation in modern microprocessors ...
Synchronization in VLSI Chapter Clock Power Reduction Using NDR Routing Keywords Clock distribution Clock mesh Multiple-mesh clock network 1Introduction Big industrial designs such as SoCs and processors are often embedded with multiple levels of clock gating to efficiently reduce the power consumption of...
Clock-gating and power-gating have proven to be two of the most effective techniques for reducing dynamic and leakage power, respectively, in VLSI CMOS circuits. Most commercial synthesis tools do support such techniques individually, but their combined implementation is not available, since some ...
The clock gating checks often do not get the attention that they deserve early in the design cycle. Most of the EDA tools employed for CTS building deploy the clock gating cells as much close to the root as possible to save on dynamic power. This increases the amount of negative skew and...
Zero Skew Local Skew Global Skew Positive Skew If the Clock Signal arrives at the Clock Pin of Launch Flop first and Clock Pin of Capture Flop later it is known as Positive Skew. Positive Skew relaxes Setup Check as Data will get extra time to be stable. But, it tightens the Hold check...
