چکیده
0740-7475/02/$17.00 © 2002 IEEE July–August 2002 EDA FLOWS are industry driven, and thus use synchronous methodologies as de facto standards. However, implementation problems arise from imposing a synchronous model of operation on deep-submicron circuits. This problem motivates the investigation of other, asynchronous modes of operation. Acceptance of new design methodologies, including asynchronous ones, by engineering and industrial communities depends on three major issues:

Applications 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 کاملRelative Placement in Timed Asynchronous Design
Timed asynchronous circuits can be implemented using commercial computer-aided design (CAD) tools. Relative timing methodology is applied for interpreting the complex timing of asynchronous circuits into CAD tools that can be understood with minimum and maximum timing constraints. Typical synchronous placement algorithm neglect timing information which is critical for asynchronous methodology. ...

متن کاملTesting of Asynchronous Designs by "Inappropriate" Means: Synchronous Approach
The roadblock to wide acceptance of asynchronous methodology is poor CAD support. Current asynchronous design tools require a significant re-education of designers, and their capabilities are far behind synchronous commercial tools. This paper considers the testing methodology for a particular subclass of asynchronous circuits (Null Convention Logic or NCL) that entirely relies on conventional ...
