Abstract :
Asynchronous processors are an attractive research field, since they offer many advantages over synchronous processors. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), one of the dominant media at present for prototyping and implementing digital circuits, is used to construct an 8-bit asynchronous RISC processor. The asynchronous processor employs the conceptual framework of a Sutherland micropipeline, a modular approach to design of asynchronous circuits
