A circuit having an active clock shielding structure includes a logic circuit that receives a clock signal and performs a logic operation based on the clock signal, a power gating circuit that switches a mode of the logic circuit between an active mode and an sleep mode based on a power gating signal, a clock signal transmission line that transmits the clock signal to the logic circuit, and at least one power gating signal transmission line that transmits the power gating signal to the power gating circuit and functions as a shielding line pair with the clock signal transmission line.

A power control circuit is connected between a power supply voltage and a logic circuit to switch power supplied to the logic circuit. The power control circuit includes a plurality of first power gating cells (PGCs) receiving an external mode change signal in parallel, at least one second PGC connected with one first PGC, at least one third PGC connected with the at least one second PGC, and at least one fourth PGC connected with the at least one third PGC. The second power gating cell, the third PGC, and/or the fourth PGC may include a plurality of gating cells. At least one of the second, third, and fourth pluralities has power gating cells connected in series. Each of the first through fourth PGCs switches power supplied in response to the mode change signal.

In a method of designing a system-on-chip including a tapless standard cell to which body biasing is applied, a slow corner timing parameter is adjusted to increase a slow corner of an operating speed distribution for the system-on-chip by reflecting forward body biasing, and a fast corner timing parameter is adjusted to decrease a fast corner of the operating speed distribution for the system-on-chip by reflecting reverse body biasing. The system-on-chip including the tapless standard cell is implemented based on the adjusted slow corner timing parameter corresponding to the increased slow corner and the adjusted fast corner timing parameter corresponding to the decreased fast corner. The slow corner timing parameter corresponds to a lowest value of an operating speed design window of the system-on-chip, and, the fast corner timing parameter corresponds to a highest value of the operating speed design window of the system-on-chip.

A system-on-chip and an electronic device including the system-on-chip are provided. The system-on-chip includes a power switch, a logic block, a memory device, and a buffer. The power switch is coupled between a first power supply line and a virtual power supply line, and turns on in response to a switch control signal. The logic block is coupled between the virtual power supply line and a ground line. The memory device is coupled between a second power supply line and the ground line. The buffer is coupled between the second power supply line and the ground line, and generates the switch control signal based on a sleep signal.
