  • Abstract
    This paper discusses some aspects of hazards in asynchronous sequential circuits. In particular, methods of hazard detection and correction are given for the analysis of circuits 1) designed by criteria other than hazard prevention, and/or 2) in which upper and lower bounds may be placed on delays. A natural ordering for sequential hazards is introduced as a basis for the procedures.
