Designing slope insensitive C-elements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Asynchronous circuits are well known for their intrinsic robustness to process, voltage and temperature variations. Nevertheless, in some extreme cases, it appears that their robustness is not sufficient to guarantee a correct circuit behavior in the presence of slow slopes. The simulations and robustness studies have been performed in 130 nm CMOS technology.

Since many of these notes are preliminary versions or may be publish~ elsewhere , they have a limited distribution only and are not for review. Copies of these notes are available from the author or the editor. A method for designing delay-insensitive circuits is presented based on a simple formalism. The communication behavior of a circuit with Its envlronmenf is speclfied by a regular express...
متن کاملWavefront sensing using diffractive elements.
In this Letter, we introduce a wavefront slope sensor based on a diffractive element. The diffractive element wavefront sensor (DEWS) produces four double overlapping copies of the incoming wavefront acting like a combination of shearing and pyramidal sensors. The DEWS allows a simple and fast slope estimate. The wavefront sampling can be as high as the number of pixel assigned to cover a wavef...
متن کاملDelay-Insensitive Ternary Logic
This paper develops a delay-insensitive (DI) digital design paradigm that utilizes ternary logic as an alternative to dual-rail logic for encoding the DATA and NULL states. This new Delay-Insensitive Ternary Logic (DITL) paradigm is compared with other DI paradigms, such as Pre-Charge HalfBuffers (PCHB) and NULL Convention Logic (NCL), showing that DITL significantly outperforms PCHB and NCL in...
متن کاملCrystallization of redox-insensitive Oct1 POU domain with different DNA-response elements.
The POU domain of the human Oct1 transcription factor has been crystallized with two different POU-dimer-binding DNA elements. Protein-DNA cocrystals suitable for structural analysis could be obtained only with a redox-insensitive version of the POU domain. The recombinant protein expression in a prokaryotic host was adjusted for fast purification. Optimized crystals were obtained by systematic...
متن کاملDifferential-type Structures and C-elements for GaAs MESFET Asynchronous Circuits
In any high-speed digital circuit, problems like clock skew, transmission delays and off-chip communication are worrisome. Being particularly fast, GaAs technology is a good candidate for global clock free design. In this paper, a detailed analysis of several differential-type structures and C-elements, used to build self-timed delay-insensitive circuits, is carried out by HSPICE simulations in...
