Abstract

This paper is devoted to studying two key issues of the asynchronous pipelines: their performance, and the influence that the position of stages have on the latency of a pipelined asynchronous circuit as a whole. To attain the performance evaluation, we derive expressions of the latency and the cycle time of a linear pipeline as closed-form formulas. To attain the influence of the position, we present some experiments, using the previous closed-form formulas, on different pipelines.
