Synchronous Action Systems
Juha Plosila, Tiberiu Seceleanu · 1998
The action systems framework has recently been applied to the area of synchronous VLSI design. Synchronous action systems explicitly model synchronous two-phase behavior, making a formal description transparent, in the sense that its hardware implementation can be obtained by a direct mapping. The design methodology is based on correctly transformations of asynchronous circuit descriptions into synchronous equivalent designs. In this paper, we analyse other aspects of designing synchronous circuits in the framework of action systems, namely the synchronization of subsystems.
