Abstract :
Circuit techniques for current-sensing completion detection (CSCD) are developed and evaluated. CSCD is a mixed analog-digital method for detecting the completion of operations in digital CMOS. The technique is therefore well suited for controlling self-timed asynchronous digital VLSI circuits. Design of an experimental CSCD chip including digital arithmetic is discussed and the performance of the chip is characterized
