QDI Decomposed DIMS Method Featuring Homogeneous/Heterogeneous Data Encoding

چکیده
Abstract: The delay-insensitive minterm synthesis (DIMS) method facilitates a robust two-level asynchronous implementation of dual-rail encoded arbitrary combinational logic. However for multilevel realization, logic decomposition becomes indispensable. In this context, this paper describes an elegant technique of performing quasi-delay-insensitive logic decomposition based on set theoretic principles. This includes consideration of generic homogeneous and heterogeneous delay-insensitive data encoding schemes within the purview of the DIMS approach. Through the proposed set theory based logic decomposition rules, it is shown how any combinational logic specification that comprises any number of concurrent inputs can be synthesized in a multilevel fashion on the basis of the DIMS method without compromising on circuit robustness.

QDI Implementations of Boolean Graphs
Implementing combinational logic efficiently in QDI designs is hard, due to the need to acknowledge every transition, and naive approaches are often used. The paper demonstrates the problem of using Delay-Insensitive Minterm Synthesis on anything but the smallest designs.These problems can be overcome by employing techniques from MultiLevel Logic synthesis. An initial method using Roth-Karp dec...

Quasi-Delay-Insensitive (QDI) circuits behave correctly independently of arbitrary delays in gates or wires, which gives them many advantages. However, there are a lot of restrictions for the design of this type of circuits, making them difficult to synthesize automatically. This paper presents a new methodology to model and synthesize QDI asynchronous circuits. The targeted circuits use the mu...

This paper addresses the issue of Single-Event Upset (SEU) in quasi delay-insensitive (QDI) asynchronous circuits. We show that an SEU can cause abnormal computations in QDI circuits beside deadlock, and we propose a general method to make QDI circuits SEU-tolerant. We present a simplified SEUtolerant buffer implementations for CMOS technology. Finally, we present a case study of a one-bit comp...

Object-oriented framework is a promising solution technology for improving reusability of software, where a framework is a reusable design of a program or a part of a program expressed as a set of classes [5][8]. Having recognized the importance of object-oriented framework, many methodologists propose design methods focusing on framework development. The methods include collaboration-based des...
