Abstract

A novel glitch-free integrated clock gating (ICG) cell is developed and demonstrated in 45 nm CMOS technology. The proposed cell is more reliable as it produces an uninterrupted gated clock signal in cases where glitches occur in the enable signal during clock transitions. A detailed comparison of the proposed cell with the existing integrated clock gating cells is also presented. Glitch-free operation (and therefore high reliability) is achieved at the expense of larger power and delay, as quantified for 45 nm CMOS technology. The proposed ICG cell is shown to be highly applicable to dual edge triggered flip-flops where existing ICGs fail if there are glitches in the enable signal during clock transitions.
