Abstract :
This paper introduces two new high-speed quasi delay insensitive (QDI) asynchronous pipeline templates. These new high throughput templates support complex non-linear pipeline structures and are well suited for fine-grain pipelining. Timing analysis and HSPICE simulations show that these templates are 20% and 40% faster than known QDI counterparts.
