Abstract
There is provided a computer implemented method for processing a formal specification of a digital circuit. The specification comprises information about a signal path for forwarding a digital signal from a source to a sink. The method comprises inputting the formal specification; identifying at least one signal group and at least one signal path belonging to the signal group based on the formal specification; inputting physical design constraints; and calculating, based on the physical design constraints and the at least one signal group, a number of clocked stages to be inserted into the signal path, such that the signal paths of a certain signal group have the same calculated number of clocked stages.
