An innovative implementation of asynchronous for-loop circuit with click micropipeline

Abstract

This paper proposes an asynchronous cycle circuit by providing Click element and joint module rather than clock-domain. The asynchronous mode of operation re-uses the simple asynchronous control protocols, takes full advantage of characteristics of Click, and commendably inherits the elasticity of the asynchronous micropipeline. The circuit in this paper has some individual coin. As a result, we can use it as a fixed and naturalized structure in application of VLSI asynchronous circuit design. Actually, when we transfer it to a strange circumstance, we only alter the output of counter which is the kernel of for-loop.
