“…Several design methodologies focused on techniques to optimize the process of clock tree synthesis [10][11][12]. Power gating [13], buffer sizing [14], and the insertion of multi-bit flip-flops (MBFFs) [15][16][17] were introduced for the reduction in power consumption and to satisfy the necessary timing constraints. In some designs, clock skew was also present in the intra levels of a clock tree.…”

“…A legalization-based placement algorithm was also proposed [19,20] for an accurate timing analysis. In [15], MBFFs were used during the placement stage for the reduction in power and clock skew. In this method, modules in the layout were clustered for the reduction in clock skew in the clock distribution networks.…”

“…Its main objective is to reduce power usage by merging single flip-flops into multi-bit flip-flops [6]. The achieved power reductions are mainly due to the reduced clock wirelength and number of clock sync pins [6,7]. Another benefit of this technique is area reduction, because an MBFF is smaller in size compared with its single flip-flop equivalents [8].…”

“…MBR composition has been also applied during placement, taking into account the effect of clock tree latency [79]. The late application of MBR composition narrows the design space to identify candidate MBRs.…”
