A Back-End Implementation Based on Gated Clock

This paper describes the basic principle of the gated clock. In the system design phase, the gated clock is added to the RTL code for low-power design. Under TSMC 350 nm CMOS process, Synopsys’ Design Compiler, IC Compiler, PT and other tools were used to complete the back-end physical implementation. The total power consumption of the uninserted gated clock is $\mathbf{111.98}\ \mathbf{\mu W}$, the total power consumption of the inserted gated clock is $\mathbf{84.83\ \mu W}$, the total power consumption is reduced by 24.25%, and the area is also reduced.
