Abstract

TITAC is an asynchronous version of an 8-bit von Neumann microprocessor based on the delay-insensitive model incorporating the isochronic-forks assumption. In its two-phase, event-driven design scheme, a working phase and an idle phase alternate to execute control and data transfer. The data path design uses a two-rail, multilevel AND-OR scheme with a binary decision diagram structure for efficient signal generation.
