Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit for implementing low power input gating. In one implementation, the integrated circuit may include a chip enable device configured to receive and use a clock input signal to toggle a control input of memory based on a chip enable signal. The integrated circuit may include a latch device configured to latch the control input of the memory. The integrated circuit may include a latch enable device coupled between the chip enable device and the latch device. The latch enable device may be configured to receive the clock input signal from the chip enable device and use the clock input signal to gate the latch device based on a latch enable signal so as to selectively cutoff toggling of the clock input signal to the control input of the memory.
