Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a clock gating tree comprising a first clock gating stage and a second clock gating stage. The first clock gating stage is configured to receive an activate detection signal and to activate clocking events in the second clock gating stage in response to the activate detection signal. The clocking events are not activated in the absence of the activate detection signal.
