In an integrated clock gating (ICG) cell a latch is coupled to a NOR gate. The NOR gate receives an enable signal. The latch is configured to generate a latch output in response to the state of the enable signal. The latch includes a tri-state inverter. A NAND gate is coupled to the latch and the NAND gate is configured to generate an inverted clock signal in response to the latch output and a clock input.
