This paper proposes a novel power supply transient current sensing based completion detector for single rail asynchronous systems to achieve high throughput compared to systems using speculative delay. This paper also proposes a new event separator logic for separating data tokens, in situations where the current sensor is idle due to consecutively same inputs. This type of logic is indispensable for asynchronous systems that use current sensing for completion detection. In order to prove the efficacy of the proposed CSCD, an asynchronous 8-bit AddCompare-Select unit (ACSU) is simulated through HSPICE in 0.18µm CMOS process operating at 1V with the proposed CSCD with event separator over MOUSETRAP and also with matched delay over MOUSETRAP. The throughput of the proposed CSCD is 2.2Gsps which is 37.5% higher than that of the matched delay whose throughput is 1.6Gsps.
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.
