Abstract
A method of circuit conception including performing static timing analysis on a circuit design to identify a first subset of the synchronous devices having at least one input path with a slack time below a first threshold; simulating the circuit design using one or more functional test patterns to identify a second subset of the synchronous devices for which the number of activations during the simulation is above a second threshold; selecting at least one synchronous device forming part of both of the first and second subsets; and modifying the circuit design to include, for each selected synchronous device, a detection circuit coupled to one or more inputs of the selected synchronous device.
