With increasingly smaller feature sizes and higher on-chip densities, the power dissipation of VLSI systems has become a primary concern for designers. This paper first describes...
Metastability is a phenomenon that can cause system failures in digital circuits. It may occur whenever signals are being transmitted across asynchronous or unrelated clock domain...
We present a design style and synthesis algorithm that encompasses both asynchronous and synchronous state machines. Our proposed design style not only supports generalized “bur...
Synthesis of asynchronous circuits from Signal Transition Graphs (STGs) involves resolution of state encoding conflicts by means of refining the STG specification. In this paper, ...
R. Thomas conjectured, twenty years ago, that the presence of a positive circuit in the interaction graph of a dynamical system is a necessary condition for the presence of severa...
