Methods and apparatuses to automatically generate time multiplexed multi-channel circuits from single-channel circuits. At least one embodiment of the present invention automatically and efficiently synthesize multi-channel hardware for time-multiplexed resource sharing by automatically generating a time multiplexed design of multi-channel circuits from the design of a single-channel circuit. Channel specific elements of the single-channel design (e.g., registers and memories) are replaced with corresponding elements of N-times more capacity for pipelining the signal processing for multiple channels.
