  • Abstract
    An asynchronous FIFO which avoids data movement in a micropipeline FIFO is presented and it has been implemented as a gate-level netlist. The presented asynchronous FIFO model is constructed by commonly used hardware-description language and synthesized using the conventional EDA tools and methods for synchronous design. The purpose of this work is to construct a reusable asynchronous FIFO design which suits the commonly used synchronous design tools and flow.
