Abstract:
Multi-bit flip-flops (MBFFs) are widely employed in modern digital design due to their reduced power and area consumption compared to single-bit flip-flops (SBFFs). In this paper, we present an MBFF-based framework that simultaneously optimizes the crucial power, area, and timing metrics. First, we present a mean shift-based clustering algorithm to generate power and area-friendly clusters while considering multiple clocks. Then, a feasible-region-based declustering method is developed to produce the desired timing solution. Finally, we propose a timing-aware refinement strategy to further improve the solution quality. Compared with the competitive works, the experimental results show that our proposed algorithm achieves the best performance within the shortest runtime. © 2025 IEEE.
