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.

Abstract

A structural discipline for constructing speed-independent (hazard-free) circuits based on canonical chains of set-dominant and reset-dominant latches is proposed. The method can be applied to decompose complex asymmetric C-gate generated by logic synthesis from Signal Transition Graphs, and to map them into a restricted gate array ASIC library, such as IBM SA-12E that consists of logic gates with maximum four inputs and includes AO12, AOI12, OA12 and OAI12. The method is illustrated by new implementations of practically useful asynchronous circuits: a toggle element and an edge-triggered latch controller.
