We present a design style and synthesis algorithm that encompasses both asynchronous and synchronous state machines. Our proposed design style not only supports generalized “bur...
Asynchronous systems are being viewed as an increasingly viable alternative to purely synchronous systems. This paper gives an overview of the current state of the art in practica...
This paper proposes a novel Behavioral Synthesis method that improves performance of synthesized circuits utilizing specialized functional units effectively. Specialized functional...
—Accurate timing analysis is crucial for obtaining the optimal clock frequency, and for other design stages such as power analysis. Most methods for estimating propagation delay ...
Abstract. It has recently been shown that logic circuits in the implementation of cryptographic algorithms, although protected by “secure” random masking schemes, leak side-cha...
