Hi All,

How should I implement a Gated Clock in Altera devices? Is there some specific cell, which I should use?

Thank you
 

Depending on the used FPGA family, a CLKCTRL block might do what you want. It's rather unusual to have gated clocks in FPGA designs.
 

Why do you want one? whats wrong with a normal clock?
 

And why doesn't using a clock enable work? If you are trying to save power then using an FPGA is the primary problem.
