Abstract: In this paper, we propose an SKB-tree representation for the separation of multiple supply voltage (MSV) of modules in Integrated Circuits(IC) and routability at the same time under the fixed-outline constraint. Apart from previous works, we constrain modules of the same voltage to be placed into one region for wirelength optimization. This proposed methodology results, can reduce wirelength and be routing congestion in ICs. Our approach guarantees to obtain the minimum wirelength in time. The algorithm finds the position of modules in ICs to reduce the wirelength. It will dynamically allocate modules in fixed outline Integrated Circuits. This algorithm is implemented in GSRC bench circuits for wirelength optimization
