Abstract

A method of selecting relative timing constraints for enforcing in an asynchronous circuit is presented. The method includes selecting one or more sets of relative timing constraints, which include a first set of relative timing constraints, wherein the first set of relative timing constraints meets the following criteria: i) the first set is suitable for preventing the asynchronous circuit from entering two or more bad states in which a correctness property of the asynchronous circuit is violated, and ii) the first set comprises a plurality of relative timing constraints, wherein each relative timing constraint within the first set is associated with a bad state whose associated relative timing constraints comprise this relative timing constraint but no other relative timing constraint that is implied by another relative timing constraint in the first set.
