Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods of performing boundary assertion-based power recovery in integrated circuit design set boundary assertions based on a specified slack value. A boundary defines a set of components of the integrated circuit and setting the boundary assertions includes specifying arrival times at input pins of the set of components and required arrival times at output pins of the set of components. The method includes performing timing analysis of the set of components and performing the power recovery by replacing ones of the set of components based on a result of the timing analysis. The integrated circuit design is provided for fabrication based on completing the power recovery.
