Abstract

A system and method of synthesizing and/or verifying a circuit from a behavioral description of that circuit. A signal ordering of signals in the circuit is defined, wherein defining a signal ordering of signals in the circuit includes specifying a relative ordering of a plurality of events within the circuit. The behavioral description is modified as a function of the signal ordering. The circuit is then synthesized and/or verified as a function of the modified behavioral description.
