SoCCanvasFourthDemo – IP Diagram (Clock Gating)
Power 효율은 RTL이 아니라 구조에서 결정됩니다.
🧭 How to design SoC with SoC Canvas
Episode 4에서는
Clock Gating Stage를 별도로 분리하여 관리하는 과정을 보여드립니다.
대규모 SoC에서는 수백~수천 개 이상의 Clock Gate가 사용되며,
Auto Clock Gating을 위한 ARM Q-Channel Interface도 복잡하게 연결됩니다.
이를 하나의 Diagram에서 관리하는 것은 복잡하기 때문에
SoC Canvas는 이를 두 개의 구조로 분리합니다.
✔️ Clock Distribution Stage (PLL / MUX / Divider)
✔️ Clock Gating Stage (Gate / Q-Channel)

Power efficiency is determined by the structure, not the RTL.
🧭 How to design SoC with SoC Canvas
In Episode 4,
we demonstrate the process of managing the Clock Gating Stage separately.
Large-scale SoCs utilize hundreds to thousands of Clock Gates,
andthe ARM Q-Channel Interface for Auto Clock Gating is intricately connected.
Because managing this within a single diagram is complex,
SoC Canvas separates it into two structures:
✔️ Clock Distribution Stage (PLL / MUX / Divider)
✔️ Clock Gating Stage (Gate / Q-Channel)

💡 Summary
In this video, we explore the IP Diagram feature of SoC Canvas for managing clock gating complexity in modern SoC designs.
Instead of handling all clock logic in a single diagram, SoC Canvas separates:
– Frequency-related structures
– Clock gating / power control structures
This enables engineers to manage large-scale clock architectures more clearly and efficiently.
We also demonstrate automated clock gating flows based on ARM Q-Channel interfaces.
