power gating

Power gating, like clock gating, is a technique used in power management( PM) to reduce the power consumption of mobile computers.

Power gating aims to reduce leakage currents in chips with high integration density and structure widths of less than 100 nm. In power gating, the power supply of unused functional units is temporarily switched off, reducing leakage currents.
