Abstract

An electronic design automation (EDA) tool that analyzes a circuit design to identify sequential elements (flip-flops) that do not need to be reset, for example, because they do not need to be initialized in order to be in a known state, and converts the identified sequential elements to non-resettable circuits, which saves power and area.
