Glitch removal

Glitch removal is the elimination of glitches—unnecessary signal transitions without functionality—from electronic circuits.

Glitch power comes under dynamic dissipation in the circuit and is directly proportional to switching activity.

Gate freezing minimizes power dissipation by eliminating glitching.

It relies on the availability of modified standard library cells such as the so-called F-Gate.

This results in balanced propagation delay along different paths converging at the receiving gate.

Performance is maintained since it is determined by the time required by the critical path.
