Abstract

Methods and systems for clock gating are described herein. In certain aspects, a method for clock gating includes receiving an input signal of a flip-flop and an output signal of the flip-flop, and passing a clock signal to an input of a gate in the flip-flop if the input signal and the output signal have different logic values or both the input signal and the output signal have a logic value of zero. The method also includes gating the clock signal if both the input signal and the output signal have a logic value of one.
