Asynchronous two-level logic of reduced cost

Abstract

We propose a novel synthesis method of a dual-rail asynchronous two-level logic of reduced cost. It is based on a model that operates under so called modified weak constraints. The logic is implemented as a minimized AND-OR structure, together with the completion detection logic. We formulated and proved the product term minimization constraint that ensures a correct logic behavior. We processed the MCNC benchmarks and generated asynchronous two-level logic. The implementation complexity was compared with the state-of-the-art approach. Using our approach, we achieved a significant improvement.
