    Abstract: An integrated circuit gating circuit includes a first control stage that outputs a first internal signal based on an enable signal and a clock signal, a second control stage that outputs a second internal signal based on the first internal signal and the clock signal, and an output driver that outputs an output clock signal based on the second internal signal. The second control stage includes a first multi-finger transistor that is connected between a second node outputting the second internal signal and the 0-th node and operates based on the clock signal. A first portion of the first multi-finger transistor is formed in a first row defined on a semiconductor substrate, and a second portion of the first multi-finger transistor is formed in a second row defined on the semiconductor substrate.

    Abstract: A clock gating cell includes an input logic/latch circuit, a keeper logic/signal generating circuit, and an output driver. The input logic/latch circuit generates an internal enable signal based on first and second input enable signals, and generates a first internal signal provided to a first node based on the internal enable signal and an input clock signal. The keeper logic/signal generating circuit is connected between the first node and a second node, includes a feedback path feeding back the first internal signal, generates a second internal signal provided to the second node based on the first internal signal and the input clock signal, and includes first and second paths discharging the second node. The first and second paths are different. The second path is connected to the feedback path. The output driver generates an output clock signal based on the second internal signal.

    Abstract: An active resistor array of a semiconductor memory device comprises a first active resistor in a first active resistor region; a second active resistor in the first active resistor region and arranged in parallel with the first active resistor, and an isolation element layer interposed therebetween; a third active resistor formed in a second active resistor region; a first selection transistor formed in a first selection transistor region and connected to the second active resistor; and a second selection transistor formed in a second selection transistor region and connected to the third active resistor. The first and second selection transistors are connected to the same gate layer. The gate layer of the first and second selection transistors is on the isolation element layer. Since example embodiments may help to ensure the uniformity of the layout pattern, active resistance distribution may be improved due to reduction in process variation.
