In recent years a number of methods for designing self-timed circuits have been proposed. As a first step towards a comparison of these, we have designed a vector-multiplier using three of the published approaches: a Caltech design [5, 7], a multi-ring design [10, 11] (both are delay-insensitive circuits using four-phase handshaking and dual-rail encoding of data), and a micropipeline design [12, 8] (using a two-phase bundled-data protocol). Furthermore, a synchronous design of the same multiplier has been made. All the designs have been completed down to the layout level, and chips for two of the self-timed designs have been fabricated and tested. Based on these design experiments we report both quantitative and qualitative comparisons. |
