Timing Verification for Asynchronous Design
R.M.Davies and J.V.Woods
Abstract
This paper describes a technique for verifying timing conditions inherent in self-timed VLSI designs that make use of the micropipeline design strategy. By checking bundling constraints during simulations, design faults may be detected, whilst timing information extracted during the processing may be used to identify modules requiring optimisation. These analyses may be built around existing simulators.
