چکیده
Digital VLSI circuits are usually classi ed into synchronous and asynchronous circuits Synchronous circuits are generally controlled by global synchronization signals provided by a clock Asynchronous circuits on the other hand do not use such global synchroniza tion signals Between these extremes there are various hybrids Digital circuits in today s commercial products are almost exclusively synchronous Despite this big di erence in pop ularity there are a number of reasons why asynchronous circuits are of interest

Testing asynchronous circuits: A survey
Asynchronous circuit design has been studied for decades, but it has only recently been feasible to construct large and e cient asynchronous systems. This paper surveys di erent techniques for checking whether an asynchronous circuit has fabrication defects. The inherent di erences between asynchronous and synchronous circuits, primarily that asynchronous circuits do not have a global clock, ne...
متن کاملStandby Power Reduction Techniques for Asynchronous Circuits with Indeterminate Standby States
In the literature, some schemes were proposed to combine Multi-Threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) with asynchronous circuits to reduce standby power consumption. However, all of these can only be applied to asynchronous circuits in which the values of all signals can be determined in the standby state. As a result, their applications are limited. To solve this problem, this paper develops standby power re...

متن کاملApplications of Asynchronous Circuits
| A comparison with synchronous circuits suggests four opportunities for the application of asynchronous circuits: high performance, low power, improved noise and EMC properties, and a natural match with heterogeneous system timing. In this overview article each opportunity is reviewed in some detail, illustrated by examples, compared with synchronous alternatives, and accompanied by numerous p...
متن کاملConstraining Operation Delay for Dynamic Power Optimization of Asynchronous Circuits
In this paper, we propose a dynamic power optimization method for asynchronous circuits with bundled-data implementation constraining operation delay. In asynchronous circuits, we can change the execution time of each operation freely under a given latency constraint. Therefore, the proposed method relaxes the execution time of operations which consume more power while it tightens the execution...
