Methods (700, 800, 900) and systems (Fig. 1) automate an approach to convert a circuit design from a synchronous representation (Fig. 4A) to an asynchronous representation (Fig. 4B) without interaction or redesign. Conversion of representations of synchronous circuit designs (101) to and from representations of asynchronous circuit designs (104) enable traditional electronic design automation tools to process asynchronous designs while allowing synchronous designs to be implemented using asynchronous hardware solutions. Feedback to synchronous design tools (105) in synchronous representation enables optimization while minimizing the need for knowledge of the underlying asynchronous architecture and hardware.
