Zusammenfassung:Structures and methods for implementing alternating power gating in integrated circuits. A semiconductor structure includes a power gated circuit including a group of power gate switches and an alternating enable generator that generates enabling signals. Each respective one of the power gate switches is enabled by a respective one of the enabling signals. The alternating generator generates the enabling signals such that a first enabled power gate switch is alternated amongst the group of power gate switches.
