Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention identifies a circuit having a loop structure and a tri-state element. The circuit provides a circuit output. The loop structure contains at least a loop element in a feedback connection. The tri-state element receives first tri-state inputs. The circuit is transformed so that the tri-state element is moved across the loop structure to provide the circuit output.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- identifying a circuit having a loop structure and a tri-state element, the circuit providing a circuit output, the loop structure containing at least a loop element in a feedback connection, the tri-state element receiving first tri-state inputs;
- and
- transforming the circuit so that the tri-state element is moved across the loop structure to provide the circuit output.
A computer program product comprising:
- a machine useable medium having program code embedded therein, the program code comprising:
- computer readable program code to identify a circuit having a loop structure and a tri-state element, the circuit providing a circuit output, the loop structure containing at least a loop element in a feedback connection, the tri-state element receiving first tri-state inputs;
- and
- computer readable program code to transform the circuit so that the tri-state element is moved across the loop structure to provide the circuit output.

A system comprises:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program code, the program code when executed by the processor causing the processor to:
- identify a circuit having a loop structure and a tri-state element, the circuit providing a circuit output, the loop structure containing at least a loop element in a feedback connection, the tri-state element receiving first tri-state inputs, and
- transform the circuit so that the tri-state element is moved across the loop structure to provide the circuit output.
