Synthesis of self-clocked asynchronous controllers
Farhad Aghdasi · 1994
The contribution of this paper is a novel and systematic approach to the design of asynchronous state machines with minimum state variables and arbitrary state encoding. Multiple input changes are allowed. Simple latches in master-slave configuration are used as memory elements rendering the method suitable for implementation in SSI or VLSI. It avoids extra delay elements often necessary in self-clocked circuits. The method is illustrated by its application to the design of a VMEbus requester. >
