This paper presents the development of a prototype highperformance asynchronous standard-cell library based on the static single-track full buffer family. It focuses on the design choices and challenges that mitigate sensitiveness to noise, including transistor sizing and wire spacing rules. Post-layout simulation results demonstrate its robustness to noise while achieving a peak cycle time of 5.7 FO4 delays.
