  • Abstract
    The problem, of, efficient gate clustering, in MTCMOS circuits is modeled as a bin-packing and set-partitioning problem. Both methodologies offer reduction in leakage power of up to 70% of previous techniques, while the latter takes routing complexity, into consideration. Satisfactory performance is achieved, with minimal area overhead
