Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Use of VHDL Enviroment for Interactive Synthesis of Asynchronous Circuits

Abstract

The paper describes the idea of VHDL-based synthesis of asynchronous control circuits from Signal Transition Graphs. A set of VHDL representation forms is defined which allow the designer: (1) to interact with the synthesis process more closely, using the full range of tools (simulation, visualisation etc.) available in VHDL environments. (2) to transition between the forms smoothly, sometimes using ""mixed"" forms, thus efficiently combining partial logic circuit implementations with event-based descriptions of the surrounding parts.
