Abstract
An integrated circuit having reduced power consumption includes a clock-gating cell, a transistor and a flip-flop. The clock-gating cell receives a dynamic enable signal, generates a latched-enable signal and gates a clock signal provided to the flip-flop. The flip-flop includes first and second latches. The transistor receives an inverted latched-enable signal from the clock-gating cell and switches ON or OFF based on the logic state of the inverted latched-enable signal. The transistor provides a voltage signal to the flip-flop circuit based on the state of the flip-flop in order to control the state of the flip-flop, which reduces power consumption of the integrated circuit.
