Abstract
In an embodiment, a system for optimizing a logic circuit is disclosed. The system is configured to identify an input of a logic circuit cell that violates a timing condition. The input of the logic circuit is coupled to a plurality of logic paths having at least one level of logic. The system is also configured to identify a last node along one of the plurality logic path that violates the timing condition, and insert a buffer at least one node before the last node along the one of the plurality of logic paths that violates the timing condition. The buffer also has a delay optimized to fix the timing condition.
