Abstract: This paper presents a retiming and redundancy removal method for a sequential circuit with a specified initial state so that the resynthesized circuit has a state corresponding to the initial state and gives same behavior for any input sequences of the original circuit. Experimental results show the proposed method can optimize circuits as well as the method which does not consider the specified initial state.
