A Novel Method for Designing Asynchronous Sequential Circuits

This paper presents a new method for designing asynchronous sequential circuits. The inspiration for this method is derived from the traditional synchronous design method. We introduce a new component which is used as a building block for sequential parts of asynchronous circuits. This new component is similar to the old Flip-Flop but it has the ability to handle signal edges asynchronously. The building block enables the designer to use HDLs and common synthesis tools. Eventually, a designer can use our method to automate the asynchronous sequential circuit design.
