    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.
