Contributorclock gated conversion
ContributorHi
Original code is ASIC RTL who use clock gate to decrease power supply.
Here the clock gated code:
// Gated Clock Latch
module gcw__ckltchand (
TE,
E,
CP,
Q
);
input TE;
input E;
input CP;
output Q;
wire EN_TE;
reg CPEN;
or or1 (EN_TE,E,TE);
always @(EN_TE or CP)
if(~CP) CPEN <= EN_TE;
and an1 (Q,CPEN,CP);
endmodule //gcw__ckltchand
Super ContributorBy adding the top.v file with attached code. The tool able to recognize the gated clock and converted to use clock enables.
Info(19019): Convert gated clock gcw__ckltchand_1|Q
module top (
input i_rst_n,
input i_en,
input i_clk,
input i_data,
output reg o_data
);
wire gclk;
gcw__ckltchand gcw__ckltchand_1 (
.CP(i_clk),
.E(i_en),
.TE(),
.Q(gclk)
);
always @(posedge gclk or negedge i_rst_n) begin
if (!i_rst_n) begin
o_data <= 1'b0;
end else begin
o_data <= i_data;
end
end
endmodule
Perhaps you could check your design hierarchy to see what might be going wrong.
You could also share a simple testcase .qar file (Project > Archive Project) that you expect the tool to convert the gated clock but it does not.

HI
I tried to create a simple test case which includes :
PLL - > clock gate -> counter
I have the flag :
set_global_assignment -name SYNTH_GATED_CLOCK_CONVERSION ON
But the Quartus didn't convert the clock gate ,
Do you know why ?
I attached QAR archive file of my minimal test
