Asynchronous circuits based on multiple localised current-sensing completion detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Asynchronous circuits based on Current-Sensing Completion Detection (CSCD) are an efficient alternative to known dual rail coding techniques in terms of area required, operating speed and power consumption. New BiCMOS Current-Sensing Circuits (CSC’s) which fully support the advantages of CSCD are presented. Multiple localised CSC’s are studied and an example of a 4-bit parallel multiplier is investigated on different levels of granularity.

Current-sensing Completion Detection Methodology and Its Implementation in Asynchronous Systems
This paper addresses an alternative approach to detecting the completion of computation in asynchronous digital circuits. Presented method, as the name suggests, is based on sensing the amount of current drawn by the combinatorial logic and exploits the behavior of CMOS logic gates for separating the computation state from the idle state. The paper deals with the current sensor design, its impl...

In this article, an alternative approach to detecting the computation completion of combinatorial blocks in asynchronous digital systems is presented. The proposed methodology is based on well-known phenomenon that occurs in digital systems fabricated in CMOS technology. Such logic circuits exhibit significantly higher current consumption during the signal transitions than in the idle state. Du...

This paper addresses the design of self-timed energy-minimum circuits, operating in the sub-VT domain. The paper presents a generic implementation template using bundled-data circuitry and current sensing completion detection (CSCD). To support this, a fully-decoupled latch controller has been developed, which integrates with the current sensing circuitry. Different configurations in which the ...
متن کاملA current sensing completion detection method for asynchronous pipelines operating in the sub-threshold regime
Digital circuits operating in the sub-threshold regime are able to perform minimum energy operation at a given delay. In the sub-threshold regime the circuit delay, and hence, the leakage energy consumption depend on the supply voltage exponentially. By reducing the idle time of the circuit, the energy-minimum supply voltage can be reduced, resulting in lower energy consumption. This paper firs...
متن کاملChannel Slicing: a Way to Build Fast Routers for Asynchronous NoCs
Asynchronous on-chip networks are power efficient and tolerant to process variation but they are slower than synchronous on-chip networks. One reason for the low speed is the way that asynchronous routers use to build wide channels. To meet the bandwidth requirement, current routers broaden their channels by synchronizing multiple sub-channels. The C-element tree in the completion detection cir...
