| Abstract |
|
De-synchronization appears as a new paradigm to automate
the design of asynchronous circuits from synchronous netlists. This
paper studies different protocols for de-synchronization and formally
proves their correctness. A taxonomy of existing protocols for latch
controllers is provided. In particular, four-phase handshake protocols
devised for micro-pipelines are studied. A new controller with maximum
concurrency for de-synchronization is also proposed. The applicability of
de-synchronization on an implementation of the DLX microprocessor is
also described and discussed.
