With so much buzz around low power wearable electronics, designers are looking to save every last nanowatt of power in their design. Clock gating, which arguably is the most efficient and most simple ...

Clock gating is the most commonly employed design technique to save dynamic power, and one can find a plethora of technical literature on it and associated techniques. However, many implementations ...

With shrinking technologies, rapid multiplication of clock frequencies, and increasing emphasis on power reduction, low-power design is taking on a vital role. Design teams can no longer afford to ...

Intelligent clock gating is key to Xilinx’s bid to reduce dynamic block-RAM (BRAM) power consumption in its Virtex-6 FPGA designs. The key to this fourth generation partial reconfiguration design flow ...

This paper presents a low power Clock Gating scheme for clock power improvement that reduces power dissipation by deactivating the clock signal to an inactive value (for clock gating cell) when clock ...

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...

Clock gating is an effective method of reducing the dynamic power consumption in synchronous circuits. One of the ways to achieve this is by masking the clock that goes to the idle portion of the ...

To best understand a design topology and make decisions on clock/register gating, vector sets are required for the RTL tools to understand how to gate clocks and ...

Well, summer has been and gone; and for most of us it was a time to relax and reflect on our working practices. What can we do to achieve better results? And what can we do to break out of the routine ...

Multisource CTS represents a new clock-distribution technology that fills the methodology gap between conventional CTS and pure clock mesh. Whereas pure clock mesh delivers the best possible clock ...
