چکیده
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 4.21 ns.

Performance analysis and optimisation of NCL self-timed rings
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 ...
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 کاملOptimization of NULL convention self-timed circuits
Self-timed logic design methods are developed using Threshold Combinational Reduction (TCR) within the NULL Convention Logic (NCL) paradigm. NCL logic functions are realized using 27 distinct transistor networks implementing the set of all functions of four or fewer variables, thus facilitating a variety of gatelevel optimizations. TCR optimizations are formalized for NCL and then assessed by c...
متن کاملGate and Throughput Optimizations for Null Convention Self-timed Digital Circuits
NULL Convention Logic (NCL) provides an asynchronous design methodology employing dual-rail signals, quad-rail signals, or other Mutually Exclusive Assertion Groups (MEAGs) to incorporate data and control information into one mixed path. In NCL, the control is inherently present with each datum, so there is no need for worsecase delay analysis and control path delay matching. This dissertation ...
