Clock gating is a key power reduction technique used by many designers and is typically implemented by gate-level power synthesis tools. In this article, we will discuss the use of clock gating ...
Figure 9 : Clock Gating on Divider Multiplexer Thus suitable clock gating checks, as discussed in this paper, need to be applied on both the types of multiplexers frequently found in clock path of a ...
To reduce the overall leakage power of the chip, it is highly desirable to add mechanisms to turn off blocks that are not being used. This technique is known as power gating. Section two describes ...
As described in Chapter 11, power-gating is intrusive and adds in some voltage drop and degradation of performance. Cascading multiple voltage drops can lead to unacceptable increases in delay. Even ...
