Abstract
Methods for place-and-route aware data pipelining for an integrated circuit device are provided. In large integrated circuits, the physical distance a data signal must travel between a signal source in a master circuit block partition and a signal destination in a servant circuit block partition can exceed the distance the signal can travel in a single clock cycle. To maintain timing requirements of the integrated circuit, a longest physical distance and signal delay for a datapath between master and servant circuit block partitions can be determined and pipelining registers added. Datapaths of master circuit block partitions further away from the servant circuit block can have more pipelining registers added within the master circuit block than datapaths of master circuit block partitions that are closer to the servant circuit block.
