发明名称 Clock circuit and method of operating the same
摘要 A clock gating circuit includes a first transistor, a first inverter and a second transistor. A first terminal of the first transistor receives a clock input signal. A second terminal of the first transistor is coupled to a first node. The first transistor adjusts a voltage of the first node to a first voltage based on the clock input signal. The first inverter is coupled to the first node and receives the voltage of the first node, and outputs a clock output signal. A first terminal of the second transistor receives the clock input signal. A second terminal of the second transistor is coupled to the first node and a second node. The second transistor adjusts the voltage of the first node or the second node to the second voltage, based on the clock input signal.
