In this paper we investigate properties of retiming, a circuit transformation which preserves the behavior of the circuit as a whole. We present an algorithm which transforms a given combinational circuit into a functionally equivalent pipelined circuit with minimum latency and clock-period no greater than a given upper bound c. The algorithm
