Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for fixing hold violations in an integrated circuit design. The method and apparatus trace upstream along a path in the design corresponding to the hold violation, from an end point of the path toward a start point of the path, until an element is reached that corresponds to the start point or has a fanout exceeding a predetermined fanout limit. The method and apparatus then generate an output that defines a location in the design at which to insert a delay element, such that the delay element is connected to an input of an element downstream of the element reached during tracing.
