Performance analysis and optimisation of NCL self-timed rings
نویسنده
چکیده
A self-timed ring using NULL convention logic (NCL) is presented. An analytical method to evaluate the speed of NCL rings has been developed. The analytical predictions are verified by a Synopsys simulation and excellent agreement between the theoretical predictions and simulation results is obtained. Some important principles for ring optimisation are obtained. The analysis leads to the speed optimisation of a 24bit NCL divider.

Performance Analysis and Optimization of NCL Self-Timed Rings
Abstract: A self-timed ring using NULL Convention Logic (NCL) is presented. Analytical method to evaluate the speed of NCL rings has been developed. The analytical predictions are verified by Synopsys simulation. Excellent agreement between the theoretical predictions and simulation results is obtained. The analysis leads to speed optimization of a 24-bit NCL divider to achieve a throughput of ...
متن کاملBehavior of Self Timed Null Convention Logic Circuits with Threshold Variations
Due to increasing overheads, it is more and more difficult for the clocked architectures to fulfill design challenges like high performance, complexity, ease of design reuse. To overcome these clocked issues, clock-less asynchronous design paradigms such as the NULL Convention Logic (NCL) is used. NCL is sine qua non in future semiconductor paradigms to face new design challenges. Several resea...
متن کاملMulti Objective Analysis of NCL Threshold Gates with Return To Zero Protocols
This work scrutinizes the implementation and performance analysis of novel self-timed asynchronous logic. These templates are based on a delay-insensitive (DI) logic paradigm known as NULL Convention Logic (NCL) that supports RTZ protocol, includes clock-free operation, dual-rail encoding and monotonic transitions. Potential benefits include inherent robustness, low power, reduced noise ratio, ...
متن کاملEmergency department resource optimisation for improved performance: a review
Emergency departments (EDs) have been becoming increasingly congested due to the combined impacts of growing demand, access block and increased clinical capability of the EDs. This congestion has known to have adverse impacts on the performance of the healthcare services. Attempts to overcome with this challenge have focussed largely on the demand management and the application of system wide p...
متن کاملTemporal Properties of Self-Timed Rings
Various researchers have proposed using self-timed networks to generate and distribute clocks and other timing signals. I consider one of the simplest self-timed networks, a ring, and note that for timing applications, self-timed rings should maintain uniform spacing of events. In practice, all previous designs of which I am aware cluster events into bursts. This thesis describes a dynamical sy...
