Hysteretic threshold logic and quasi-delay insensitive asynchronous design

We introduce the class of hysteretic linear-threshold (HLT) logic functions as a novel extension of linear threshold logic, and prove their general applicability for constructing state-holding Boolean functions. We then demonstrate a fusion of HLT logic with the quasi-delay insensitive style of asynchronous circuit design, complete with logical design examples. Future research directions are also identified.
