Abstract

A method or system for clock gating verification of a circuit design. The system identifies a set of sequential components of the circuit design, and a set of nets of the circuit design. Each net is configured to provide a signal to a clock pin of a sequential component. The system then identifies a subset of nets that are associated with toggle signals, each of which transitions between two different signal values. For each of the subset of nets, the system determines one or more toggle cover properties. The system also determines a depth of at least one net in the subset of nets, and performs sign off for the clock gating verification based on the toggle cover properties and the depth of the at least one net.
