An Overview of the Solutions for the Implementation of Asynchronous Digital Systems

Abstract

A variety of solutions for the implementation of asynchronous digital systems have been described in the literature. This paper presents several implementation methods of these systems, including self timed circuits, speed independent circuits, delay insensitive circuits, handshake protocol, and C Muller elements. We also describe an implementation case study. Using the predefined circuits models in implementation of asynchronous digital systems means avoid errors and digital hazard situations. The digital asynchronous system will run correctly, according with the specifications.
