Abstract ­ Wave pipelining is a technique which can be used to speed
up the circuit without insertion of storage elements, but because of
that fact, needs to be more tightly controlled when being designed.
This paper ­ taking the wave pipeline design constraints into ac-
count ­ looks to automate the generation of wave pipelined design
netlists through synthesis and delay balancing scripts. The results
show less than 20±delay deviation between maximum and minimum
