Abstract

Optimizing a circuit by calculating at least one parameter of a circuit based on a first size of at least one sleep transistor, calculating at least one parameter of the logic circuit based on a second size of the at least one sleep transistor. This process may be repeated for different sizes of the at least one sleep transistor to determine an optimum size of the at least one sleep transistor to optimize at least one parameter of the logic circuit.
