Abstract

A method for designing a system on a target device includes inserting sequential elements into combinatorial logic bounded by a source sequential element and a destination sequential element to reduce glitching. The sequential elements are clocked with a clock signal having a phase difference from at least one of a clock signal clocking the source sequential element and the destination sequential element.
