Abstract
In this paper, we present a new configuration of an asynchronous micropipel ine, called Locally Distributed Asynchronous (LDA) micropipeline, using a n ew control circuit. The control circuit generates local control signals acc ording to the 4-phase signaling protocol. The control circuit is used to co ntrol the dynamic logic in the datapath. Comparisons based on simulations w ith other earlier published asynchronous micropipelines are also presented.
