Abstract

Implementing circuit tuning post design of an integrated circuit utilizing gate phases. Each phase includes a designation of one of a slow phase and a fast phase. During the circuit design phase, each device is given a phase designation based upon expected performance of the device in the circuit. If the device is expected to be in a critical path or has a minimum timing slack, the device is placed on the fast phase. If the device is not in a critical path or has excess timing slack the device is placed on the slow phase.
