  • Abstract
    A circuit for generating a clock pulse for asynchronous circuits is given, and when used with transition sensitive flip-flops eliminates critical races for an arbitrary state assignment. Thus the minimum number of internal variables may be used. Furthermore, logic and sequential hazards will not affect the circuit performance.
