Abstract:
Methods and systems for timing analysis and optimization of asynchronous circuit designs are disclosed. Registration stages are placed between combinational logic circuits. For timing purposes, the registration stages are modified to have a duplicate set of pins. New paths are formed in the circuit for the purposes of timing analysis. The paths are analyzable by timing tools. Once the timing analysis is complete, the paths are reverted to original paths, and new devices are selected for the circuit design based on results of the timing analysis. An updated design is sent for manufacture, based on the timing analysis and optimization of the asynchronous circuit.
