Abstract
A method for reducing dynamic power consumption of an integrated circuit design having flip-flops with an EDA tool that initiates clock gating by gating a clock signal received by the flip-flops. A first set of positive-edge triggered flip-flops and a second set of negative-edge triggered flip-flops, and a first set of OR-type clock gating cells and a second set of AND-type clock gating cells are selected from a technology library. The OR-type clock gating cells are connected to clock input terminals of the first set of positive-edge triggered flip-flops and the AND-type clock gating cells to clock terminals of the second set of negative-edge triggered flip-flops.
