ABSTRACT:
A circuit is constructed on transistor level out of a net list and it is determined if the output node of a circuit for receiving a clock signal can go to a high impedance state from this circuit. If the output node can go to a high impedance state, it is designated as the starting point for a path searching operation and an input node of the circuit not receiving a clock signal is designated as the terminating point of the path searching operation. If, on the other hand, the output node cannot go to a high impedance state, the output node is designated as the clock node and an input node of the circuit not receiving a clock signal is designated as the terminating point of the path searching operation. With this arrangement, a sequential circuit can be divided into combinational circuits for certain.
