  • Abstract
    This paper presents an asynchronous version of the Add-Compare-Select (ACS) processor. It is shown that in a statistical sense the asynchronous version of the ACS processor is faster than the synchronized version. Thus, it provides an alternative solution to overcome the speed bottleneck of the ACS processor for the Viterbi processor. An 8-bit asynchronous ACS processor requires 1.2 mm×1.2 mm in a 2μ CMOS technology
