A system and device for reducing instantaneous voltage droop (IVD) during a scan shift operation. In one embodiment, a system includes a first group of clock gating cells configured to receive an input clock signal and a first group of flip-flops coupled to the first group of clock gating cells. Each clock gating cell of the first group of clock gating cells includes a first delay element to delay the input clock signal by a first duration during a scan shift operation. The system also includes a second group of clock gating cells configured to receive the input clock signal, and a second group of flip-flops coupled to the second group of clock gating cells. Each clock gating cell of the second group of clock gating cells includes a second delay element to delay the input clock signal by a second duration during the scan shift operation.
