Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely:  presents a zero-skew gated clock routing technique for VLSI circuits. Gated clock trees include masking gates at the internal nodes of the clock tree, which are selectively turned on and off by the gate control signals during the active and idle times of the circuit modules to reduce the switched capacitance of the clock tree.  construct a clock-tree topology based on the locations and the activation frequencies of the modules, while the locations of the internal nodes of the clock tree (and, hence, the masking gates) are determined using a dynamic programming approach follod by a gate reduction heuristic. This work assumes that the gates are turned on/off by a centralized controller. Therefore, the additional por and routing area incurred by the controller and the gate control signal routing are examined. Various tradeoffs beten por and area for different design options and module activities are discussed and detailed experimental results are presented. Finally, good design practices for implementing the gated clocks are suggested.
