Asynchronous Logic Design With Flip-Flop Constraints, David Franklin Cox
Asynchronous Logic Design With Flip-Flop Constraints, David Franklin Cox
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Some techniques are presented to permit the implementation of asynchronous sequential circuits using standard flip-flops. An algorithm is presented for the RS flip-flop, and it is shown that any flow table may be realized using the algorithm (the flow table is assumed to be realizable using standard logic gates). The approach is shown to be directly applicable to synchronous circuits, and transition flip-flops (JK, D, and T) are analyzed using the ideas developed. Constraints are derived for the flow tables to meet to be realizable using transition flip-flops in asynchronous situations, and upper and lower bounds on the number of …
