Abstract(in English) With the advance of process technologies, delay variations become relatively larger. As a result, it becomes difficult to improve a performance such as a clock frequency by a conventional worst case based design. To overcome this serious problem, we introduce a tunable LSI in which a part of LSI can be tuned after fabrication to meet timing constraints and performance requirement. In this paper, we propose a datapath which is tuned by timing skew and stall adjustments. We formulate a novel stall minimization problem with timing skew optimization, and derive a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation. The tuned datapath can be expected to operate correctly with a minimum degradation. To develop a datapath synthesis which is appropriate to our approach is one of our important future works.
