This paper presents a novel approach towards the simultaneous Vt-assignment and gatesizing problem. This inherently discrete problem is formulated as a continuous problem, allowing it to be solved using any of several widely available and highly efficient non-linear optimizers. We prove that, under our formulation, the optimal solution has discrete Vts assigned to almost every gate, thus eliminating the need for a sophisticated snapping heuristic. We show that this technique performs dual-Vt assignment and gate sizing in a very efficient manner. Compared to a sensitivity based method, we achieve average leakage savings of 31% and average total power savings of 7.4% with very efficient runtimes. ©2005 IEEE.
