Abstract
Methods relating to distribution of a clock signal to logic devices of an integrated circuit. The method includes controlling, by a logic element, the distribution of a clock signal by a clock gater and distributing the clock signal by the clock gater to at least one first logic device, wherein the logic element allows the first clock gater to distribute the clock signal only when at least one first logic device requires the clock signal. An integrated circuit configured to perform such a method. Fabrication of such an integrated circuit.
