Improved Logic Synthesis for Asynchronous Circuits

Karthi Srinivasan and Rajit Manohar

Synthesis of asynchronous circuits from CHP programs has seen significant improvements in recent times. We present several improvements and extensions to the state-of-the-art synthesis technique in order to further improve the performance of generated circuits and also provide designers with more power and flexibility. The proposed modifications are benchmarked against the baseline with pre-layout SPICE simulations of generated netlists. Comparison in a 65nm node show average improvements of 9% in area, 16% in delay and 23% in energy consumption.
