Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for suppressing power supply noise harmonics are disclosed. A method includes selecting at least one flip-flop of a plurality of data paths of an integrated circuit based on a slack associated with the at least one flip-flop. The method also includes providing at least one delay circuit at an output of at least one flip-flop. The at least one delay circuit is configured to delay the output of the at least one flip-flop by a threshold clock cycle for managing current at a positive edge of a clock input and current at a negative edge of the clock input, thereby suppressing power supply noise harmonics of the integrated circuit.
