Abstract :
An algorithm is developed for the retiming of single phase sequential circuits with level sensitive (transparent) latches. A set of constraints that permit retiming and optimal clock cycle computation are also developed. It is shown that a design with edge-triggered latches may be tested for speed-up using transparent latches
