This paper proposes a technique for creating a combinational logic network with an output that signals when all other outputs have stabilized. The method is based on dual-rail encoding, and guarantees low timing overhead and reasonable area and power overhead.
We discuss various scenarios in which completion detection can be used to measure the delay of a synchronous circuit at fabrication time or at run time, and of an asynchronous circuit at run time. We conclude by showing, on a large set of benchmarks, the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
