Abstract:

An ordinary synchronous system uses clocks to determine data signal validity. To avoid the problems of distributing high-speed clocks and partitioning logic to fit within clock cycles, asynchronous circuit elements must provide their own completion indication using self-timing. Basic bipolar circuit elements which modify differential current-steering gate styles to achieve completion indication without increasing the number of wires between gate stages and with only about a 50% cost in transistor density per stage are proposed.<>
