چکیده
Timed Shannon circuits have been proposed as a synthesis approach for a low power optimization technique at the logic level since overall circuit switching probabilities may be reduced. An improvement in the application of this principle for multi-output circuits is presented. Techniques that trade area for power reduction and a method for minimizing the overall circuit switching probability are also included. Experimental results are given and analyzed for these techniques.

متن کاملSelf-timed is self-checking
Self-checking circuits detect (at least some of) their own faults. We describe self-timed circuits, including combinational logic and sequential machines, which either halt or generate illegal output if they include any single stuck-at faults. The self-timed circuits employ dual rail data encoding to implement ternary logic of 0, 1, and unde f ined states; the fourth state is used to signal ill...
متن کاملLipschitz Robustness of Timed I/O Systems
We present the first study of robustness of systems that are both timed as well as reactive (I/O). We study the behavior of such timed I/O systems in the presence of uncertain inputs and formalize their robustness using the analytic notion of Lipschitz continuity: a timed I/O system is K-(Lipschitz) robust if the perturbation in its output is at most K times the perturbation in its input. We qu...
متن کاملA complement-based fast algorithm to generate universal test sets for multi-output functions
Abstmd-In this paper, a fast universal test set (UTS) generation algorithm for multi-output functions is presented. The algorithm first generates the UTS for single-output functions by directly Shannon-expanding and complementing the function. This significantly reduces the time complexity and the usage of temporary memory. Also, it stores tests in test cubes to save the size of memory for test...
متن کاملAsynchronous Communication Mechanisms Using Self-Timed Circuits
Two asynchronous data communication mechanisms (ACMs) using self-timed circuits are presented. Mutual exclusion elements are used to concentrate potential metastability to discrete points so that it can be resolved entirely within the ACMs themselves. Self-timed circuits allow the minimisation of the interface between the reader and writer processes and the ACMs. Initial analysis shows that the...
