Ozdag, Marcos FerrettiCambridge University PressEdition: Illustrated, 2/4/2010EAN 9780521872447, ISBN10: 0521872448Hardcover, 352 pages, 25.4 x 18 x 2 cmLanguage: EnglishCreate low power, higher performance circuits with shorter design times using this practical guide to asynchronous design. This practical alternative to conventional synchronous design enables performance close to full-custom designs with design times that approach commercially available ASIC standard cell flows. It includes design trade-offs, specific design examples, and end-of-chapter exercises. Emphasis throughout is placed on practical techniques and real-world applications, making this ideal for circuit design students interested in alternative design styles and system-on-chip circuits, as well as circuit designers in industry who need new solutions to old problems.1.
