Abstract
An apparatus for processing data includes a data processing circuit configured to process user data, wherein the data processing circuit comprises a number of sub-circuits, a number of clock gates each configured to control a clock signal to one of the sub-circuits, a gating control circuit configured to control the clock gates to apply the clock signal to each of the sub-circuits in staged fashion during a ramped power up operation, and a dummy data source configured to provide dummy data to the data processing circuit during the ramped power up operation of the data processing circuit.
