ABSTRACT:
A pipeline module circuit structure with reduced power consumption and a method for operating the pipeline module circuit structure are provided. The pipeline module circuit structure comprises a plurality of pipeline stages and a clock generator, each of the pipeline stages connected to adjacent pipeline stages through a bus. A clock controller is installed in each of the pipeline stages, so as to set the clock frequency of a preceding pipeline stage to an idle frequency or stop when a present pipeline stage starts to operate and to set the clock frequency of a next pipeline stage to an operation frequency when the present pipeline stage is about to cease, such that the power consumption of the pipeline module circuit structure is effectively reduced.
