Abstract
Sequential logic elements may consume less static power in response to a first state of a clock signal than in response to a second state of a clock signal (the first and second state may be either low or high depending on the type of sequential logic). This can be exploited to reduce static power consumption of an integrated circuit by controlling the level of a clock signal so that is in the first state for a greater amount of time than the second state.
