  • Patent number: 12126345
    Abstract: An unnecessary circuit operation in a clock enabler circuit accompanying toggling of a clock signal is suppressed. A state holding unit performs a holding operation of a state as to whether or not to output an output clock signal according to an internal clock signal. A clock signal output unit controls output of the output clock signal according to the state held in the state holding unit. A control unit supplies, to the state holding unit, the internal clock signal and a value of the state that are necessary for the holding operation in the state holding unit on a basis of a clock signal and a clock enable signal from an outside.
