A designer's guide to asynchronous VLSI

Create low power, higher performance circuits with shorter design times usingthis practical guide to asynchronous design. This practical alternative to conventional synchronous design enables performance close to full-custom designswith design times that approach commercially available ASIC standard cell flows. It includes design trade-offs, specific design examples, and end-of-chapter exercises. Emphasis throughout is placed on practical techniques and real-world applications, making this ideal for circuit design students interested in alternative design styles and system-on-chip circuits, as well as circuit designers in industry who need new solutions to old problems. INDICE: 1. Introduction; 2. Channel-based asynchronous design; 3. Modelingchannel-based designs; 4. Pipeline performance; 5. Performance analysis and optimization; 6. Deadlock; 7.
