Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a clock gating circuit and a control circuit. The clock gating circuit outputs a gated clock signal based on a clock signal. Transitions of the clock signal are output in the gated clock signal in response to a clock enable signal having an enable value and are disabled from being output in the gated clock signal in response to the clock enable signal having a disable value. The control circuit includes a first portion that operates based on the clock signal. The first portion sets the clock enable signal to the disable value in response to a disable control and sets the clock enable signal to the enable value in response to a wakeup control. The control circuit includes a second portion that operates based on the gated clock signal. The second portion provides the disable control to the first portion during an operation.
