Second Working Conference on Asynchronous Design Methodologies A hybrid asynchronous system design environment London, England May 30-May 31 ISBN: 0-8186-7098-3
A hybrid design scheme for the synthesis of asynchronous circuits is described which exploits the rapid design time achievable using the Tangram silicon complier (developed by Philips), the high performance of 4-phase micropipelines and the use of synchronous design techniques to increase concurrency and therefore performance. Trade-offs between area, power performance and design time are thus supported. Substantial performance gains and power reduction may be achieved.
