Modeling of Delay-Insensitive Circuit Building-Blocks Using the Hamburg Design System

Abstract

The operation of delay-insensitive circuits, a class of asynchronous logic circuits, is difficult to visualize. Models of delay-insensitive circuit building-blocks are created using the Hamburg Design System (HADES), a pure-Java framework for object-oriented component-based simulation. These models help designers and students visualize the operation of delay-insensitive circuits.
