Document Revision History
â Clocks represent a significant portion of dynamic power consumption due to their
high switching activity and long paths. The LAB clock that distributes a clock
signal to registers within an LAB is a significant contributor to overall clock power
consumption. Each LABâs clock and clock enable signal are linked. For example, a
combinational ALUT or register in a particular LAB using the labclk1 signal also
uses the labclkena1 signal. To disable an LAB-wide clock power consumption
without disabling the entire clock tree, use the LAB-wide clock enable to gate the
LAB-wide clock. The Quartus II software automatically promotes register-level
clock enable signals to the LAB-level. All registers within the LAB that share a
common clock and clock enable are controlled by a shared, gated clock. To take
advantage of these clock enables, use a clock-enable construct in your HDL code
for the registered logic.
f For more information about implementing static and dynamic power consumption
within the LAB, refer to the Power Optimization chapter in volume 2 of the Quartus II
Handbook.
