  • Patent number: 11201621
    Abstract: A clock gating cell (CGC) is provided. The clock gating cell includes two latches that can be configured as a flip-flop to use positive/negative edges of a first clock signal to store a value of an input terminal, and the clock gating cell also includes a selector used for the flip-flop to select from values of different input terminals for storing. In addition, in a non-scan testing mode, the clock gating cell can forcefully close an unused latch through an independent signal, and in a scan shift duration and a scan capture duration of a scan testing mode, the clock gating cell can further forcefully output the first clock signal as the gating clock signal according to two independent signals.
