Abstract

Asynchronous, or clockless, design is receiving renewed attention, due to its potential benefits of modularity, low power, low electromagnetic interference and average-case performance. This chapter focuses on two styles for asynchronous controller synthesis: speed-independent and burst-mode. Basic synthesis and optimization methods are presented, as well as an introduction to timing-based optimization.
