Abstract
An implementation method for a fast Null Convention Logic (NCL) data path includes a pipeline that is assembled from gates of various types of NCL. Self-ready flash NCL gates include a one-shot circuit to reset the gates to a null state and prepare the gates for the next wave of asserted data. In one embodiment, the one-shot circuit creates a flash pulse inside a gate in response to a change of a flash input line and ends the flash pulse in response to the gate output being reset to a null state. Conventional logic can be included in the data path as well.
