Abstract
A computer-implemented method of implementing a circuit design within a programmable logic device can include selecting at least one circuit element of the circuit design. The selected circuit element can be converted to a latch. A timing analysis can be performed upon the circuit design after conversion of the selected circuit element to a latch. A determination can be made by a computer as to whether the timing of the circuit design improves and the conversion of the selected circuit element to a latch can be accepted when the timing of the circuit design improves. The circuit design can be output.
