Embodiments herein describe a techniques for identifying a first combinational cellin a design for an integrated circuit, identifying a plurality of candidate combinational cellsto combine with the first combinational cell using a first criterion. The techniques also include combining the first combinational cell with at least one of the plurality of candidate combinational cells to form a multi-bit (MB) combinational cell. Upon determining the MB combinational cell satisfies a performance threshold, the first combinational cell and the at least one of the plurality of candidate combinational cells are replaced with the MB combinational cell in the design.
