Systems and methods for reducing power consumption of latch-based circuits

Abstract:

An example circuit includes: a first clock gating circuit coupled between a first latch and a second latch and configured to provide a first gated clock signal based at least in part on an input clock signal. The first latch is configured to be activated in response to the first gated clock signal being at a first logic level to pass a data input. The second latch is configured to be activated in response to the input clock signal being at a second logic level to pass a first selection signal.
