Clock gating is like turning off the lights in a room when nobody's there to save electricity. In digital circuits, it's a clever technique that helps save power by selectively stopping the clock signal from reaching certain parts of the circuit when they're not actively doing anything. Imagine a factory where machines only run when there's work to be done, instead of running constantly. This way, energy is saved, and the circuit operates more efficiently. Clock gating plays a crucial role in modern processors and electronic devices, helping them balance performance and energy consumption. Are you intrigued by hardware design but unsure how to begin?

Clock gating not only saves FF switching power but the main power consumption saving is in the clock tree , which is why it is recommended to insert CG cells at the root of the clock source driving the FF
