Abstract :
This paper gives a unified approach for describing various systematic ways of using built-in delays in normal fundamental mode circuits. The transition of the circuit from one total stable state to another is characterized by the constraints imposed upon the next-state functions, and the realization method is characterized by the conditions under which these constraints can be satisfied simultaneously.
