basic doubt!!
hi guys,
i have a fundamental doubt..i have a circuit which has some combinational elements and to reduce my critical path,i introduce a flip-flop at each intermediate stage so that the clock frequency of operation enormously shoots up..but,at the same time,if i increase the number of flip-flops,then the total number of clock cycles required to complete an operation increases enormously..now,my question is which to choose??whether,i should pipeline at each stage so as to increase the clock frequency,there by increasing my number of clock cycles or should i have restricted flips to reduce the total number of clock cycles??which would give u a better performance in general..
regards
