Abstract

As transient error rates are growing due to smaller feature sizes, designing reliable synchronous circuits becomes increasingly challenging. Asynchronous logic design constitutes a promising alternative with respect to robustness and stability. In particular, delay-insensitive asynchronous circuits provide interesting properties, like an inherent resilience to delay-faults.
