ABSTRACT:
A clock distributor circuit is provided which works with power consumption reduced in semiconductor logic circuitry including clock synchronous circuits. The clock distributor circuit includes clock generation circuits generating gated clock signals in response to a clock enable signal to supply clock synchronous circuits with the generated clock signals. It is thus possible to reduce the power that would otherwise consumed by the toggling of the clock signal. A clock distribution method therefore is also provided.
