asynchronous design basic

[airol]

Hi guys,

I'm a beginner and would like to learn asynchronous design.

1) anyone can explain what is this mean:

"Asynchronous designs offer an interesting alternative by keeping the
assumption that signals are binary but removing the assumption that
time is discrete"

2) i've google for asynchronous design tutorial but could'nt found
anything useful. does anyone know links or documents on asynchronous
design for beginners?

thanks in advance.

regards
hairo,

Looks like you're about 35 miles too far west
A brief trip along the cyber-M62 will get you to

http://intranet.cs.man.ac.uk/apt/projects/processors/amulet/

which should start you off on various lines of enquiry.
Don't start arguing about football, though.

Also, try googling for "Muller C-element", and also
look at Handshake Solutions products.

Sometimes, asynch design is known as "self timed logic".
That may help.

Just to add to that there is also the ARM996HS, a fully 5TE ISA
