Abstract

Methods, systems, and circuits that implement timing analyses of an asynchronous system are described. A method may include converting a synchronous circuit design into an asynchronous representation, wherein a critical path may be identified. The critical path may be converted to a corresponding path in the synchronous circuit design. Additional methods, systems, and circuits are disclosed.
