A Designer's Guide to Asynchronous VLSI
Bypass the limitations of synchronous design and create low power, higher performance circuits with shorter design times using this practical guide to asynchronous design. The fundamentals of asynchronous design are covered, as is a large variety of design styles, while the emphasis throughout is on practical techniques and real-world applications.
- Demontrates how to implement an asynchronous circuit simulator using commercial software so you can develop your own simulator, or download a free add-on to simulate your own designs
- Shows you how to achieve high performance and cut design time
- Includes design trade-offs, specific design examples, and end-of-chapter exercises
