Abstract

Mechanisms for clock gating. A clock generation circuit provides a clock signal over a clock signal distribution network within an integrated circuit package. Gating elements within the clock signal distribution network disable the clock signal to one or more portions of the clock signal distribution network. A digital locked loop (DLL) maintains settings without tracking when the clock signal is disabled.
