Abstract: A method of circuit design performed in which a description of a multi-clock-domain circuit is analyzed to locate clock domain crossings. A processor automatically identifies, for at least one of the located clock domain crossings, one or more elements of a synchronization circuit of the clock domain crossing, which require constraining. The processor then generates a constraint for implementation of the identified one or more elements in a design of the circuit.
