Abstract :
The paper describes an asynchronous matrix multiplier. A simple and efficient micropipeline structure is applied. With a voltage-controlled delay and basic handshaking control protocol, the multiplier is guaranteed to be hazard free. Also, its performance can be adjusted after fabrication
