Asynchronous design has been an active area of research since at least the mid 1950's, but
has yet to achieve widespread use. We examine the benefits and problems inherent in …

Although asynchronous circuits date back to the early 1950s most of the digital circuits in
use today are synchronous because, traditionally, asynchronous circuits have been viewed …

Asynchronous design has enjoyed a revival of interest recently, as designers seek to
eliminate penalties of traditional synchronous design. In principle, asynchronous methods …

During the past decades, an incredible change of technology has been observed in many
devices: traditionally used mechanical parts have often been first replaced by analog …

This paper describes a novel communication scheme, which is guaranteed to be free of
synchronization failures, amongst multiple synchronous modules operating independently …

This paper describes a new method for exact hazard-free logic-minimization of Boolean
functions. Given an incompletely-specified Boolean function, the method produces a …

Minimalist is a new extensible environment for the synthesis and verification of burst-mode
asynchronous finite-state machines. Minimalist embodies a complete technology …

Resilient designs offer the promise to remove increasingly large margins due to process,
voltage, and temperature variations and take advantage of average-case data. However …

The authors present a systematic procedure for synthesizing timed asynchronous circuits
using timing constraints dictated by system integration, thereby facilitating natural interaction …

There are two synchronization mechanisms used in digital systems: synchronous and
asynchronous. Synchronous or asynchronous refers to whether the system events occur in …
