ABSTRACT:
A simple system and method is disclosed that provides for the identification and removal of unnecessary buffers in a logic circuit. A special pseudo-buffer is added to the library and identified as a buffer cell with zero area. In addition, a feedthrough delay rule is associated with the pseudo-buffer such that it is treated by a timing system as a wire with no delay through which all electrical properties pass. An existing repowering function will then consider the pseudo-buffer as a replacement choice when attempting to select an optimal power level. If the pseudo buffer is chosen, it can be easily removed from the circuit at some time thereafter.
