Asynchronous NULL convention logic (NCL) circuits are dual-rail quasi-delay-insensitive circuits that have many applications in high radiation and extreme temperature fluctuation environments such as space exploration. Two abstraction techniques are proposed that can be used to drastically improve the efficiency and scalability of formal equivalence verification targeted at NCL circuits. The effectiveness of the abstraction techniques have been demonstrated using a number of multiply and accumulate circuit benchmarks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
