Abstract A circuit for reducing power consumed by routing clock signals in an integrated circuit is described. The circuit comprises a clock routing network comprising a clock row coupled to receive an input clock signal having a first clock frequency and a plurality of clock branches coupled to the clock row; and a plurality of circuit blocks coupled to the plurality of clock branches, each circuit block having a clock conversion circuit and a register; wherein the clock conversion circuit is programmable to generate clock pulses of an internal clock signal, coupled to the register, having a second frequency that is greater than the first frequency. A method of reducing power consumed by routing clock signals in an integrated circuit is also disclosed.
