Statistic Implementation of QDI Asynchronous Primitives

To fairly compare the performance of an asynchronous ASIC to its homologous synchronous one requires the availability of a dedicated asynchronous library. In this paper we present TAL_130nm a standard cell library dedicated to the design of QDI asynchronous circuits. Cell selection and sizing rules applied to develop TAL_130nm are detailed. It is shown that significant area and power savings as well as speed improvements can be obtained.
