Clock gating is a power reduction technique that has been used successfully in the custom ASIC domain. Clock and logic signal power are saved by temporarily disabling the clock si...
In a scan-based system with a large number of flip-flops, a major component of power is consumed during scanshift and clocking operation in test mode. In this paper, a novel scan-...
