Abstract
A method for configuring a signal path within a digital integrated circuit. The method includes transmitting an output from a first logic module, receiving the output at a second logic module, and conveying the output from the first logic module to the second logic module by using a configurable signal path. The configurable signal path is variable by selectively including at least one latch.

A method for configuring a signal path within a digital integrated circuit, comprising:
- transmitting an output from a first logic module;
- receiving the output at a second logic module;
- conveying the output from the first logic module to the second logic module by using a configurable signal path, wherein the configurable signal path is variable by selectively including at least one latch.
A digital integrated circuit having a configuring a signal path, comprising:
- a first logic module configured to transmit an output;
- a second logic module configured to receive the output;
- a configurable signal path for conveying the output from the first logic module to the second logic module, wherein the configurable signal path is variable by selectively including at least one latch.
A method for configuring a signal path within a digital integrated circuit, comprising:
- transmitting an output from a first logic module;
- receiving the output at a second logic module;
- selectively including at least one storage element onto a configurable signal path;
- conveying the output from the first logic module to the second logic module by using a configurable signal path.
