A method for placement of pipeline latches

摘要

Method for determining placement of pipeline latches, the method comprising: providing data descriptive of placement of data sources and data sinks, in case a path length of a path connecting one of the data sources to one of the data sinks is longer than a maximum signal propagation length, placing a pipeline latch a distance from the data source, the distance being shorter than or equal to the maximum signal propagation length, in case a path length of a path connecting the pipeline latch to the one of the data sinks is longer than the maximum signal propagation length, placing an additional pipeline latch an additional distance from the pipeline latch, the additional distance being shorter than or equal to the maximum signal propagation length. <IMAGE>
