    Abstract: A switch with clock-gating control and a method for clock gating a switch are described herein. In one example, the method generally includes detecting a state of one or more input ports and a state of one or more output ports of the switch, determining whether the state of the one or more input ports and the state of the one or more output ports has been stable for a preset number of clock cycles, and gating the switch from a clock signal until the state of the one or more input ports or the state of the one or more output ports change upon determining the states have been stable for the preset number of the cycles.
