Abstract
Asynchronous circuit elements are described. Asynchronous circuit elements include a consensus element (c-element), completion tree, and validity tree. The c-element is implemented using adjustable threshold based multi-input capacitive circuitries. The completion tree comprises a plurality of c-elements organized in a tree formation. The validity tree comprises OR gates followed by c-elements. The multi-input capacitive circuitries include capacitive structures that may comprise linear dielectric, paraelectric dielectric, or ferroelectric dielectric. The capacitors can be planar or non-planar. The capacitors may be stacked vertically to reduce footprint of the various asynchronous circuitries.
