            Abstract : 
Speed, cost and correctness may be the most important factors in designing a digital system. This paper proposes a novel and general methodology to synthesize iterative functions into potentially high speed low cost and very robust circuits, called delay-insensitive combinational tree iterative circuits. In particular our methodology can be applied to synthesize binary addition and comparison into delay insensitive adders and comparators
