Abstract

A method for removing the critical false paths takes place during logic optimization. It is based on a path-constrained redundancy removal algorithm. This path-constrained redundancy removal algorithm automatically finds that a path node does not affect the behavior of the path output and so determines a critical path. This method is iteratively repeated for as long as this critical path is false.
