Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to control clock distribution to a circuit. A scheduler schedules a sequence of a clock distribution of clock signals to a plurality of clock distribution domains (CKDOMs) in the circuit according to a state status of the circuit. A controller controls enabling the clock distribution to the CKDOMs according to the scheduled sequence.
