Abstract
A system for generating a gated clock signal includes an AND gate and a clock gating cell. The AND gate receives a reset signal and an input clock signal and generates a clock signal that is provided to a clock input terminal of the clock gating cell. The clock gating cell generates a gated clock signal based on an input signal and the clock signal. Gating the clock input to a latch allows a means for conserving power.
