Single-Track Asynchronous Pipeline Templates Using 1-of-N Encoding

This paper presents a new fast and templatized family of fine-grain asynchronous pipeline stages based on the single-track protocol. No explicit control wires are required outside of the datapath and the data is 1of-N encoded. With a forward latency of 2 transitions and a cycle time of 6 for most configurations, the new
