A Designer's Guide to Asynchronous VLSI

Download or read book A Designer's Guide to Asynchronous VLSI written by Peter A. Beerel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-04 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Create low power, higher performance circuits with shorter design times using this practical guide to asynchronous design. This practical alternative to conventional synchronous design enables performance close to full-custom designs with 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.
