Abstract
Asynchronous circuits and techniques are described for asynchronous processing without synchronization to a common clock. Two specific energy-efficient pipeline templates for high throughput asynchronous circuits are provided as examples based on single-track handshake protocol. Each pipeline contains multiple stages of logic. The handshake overhead is minimized by eliminating validity and neutrality detection logic gates for all input tokens as well as for all intermediate logic nodes. Both of these templates can pack significant amount of logic within each pipeline block, while still maintaining a fast cycle time.
