Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Muller’s C-element is a basic component often used to rendezvous signals in asynchronous circuit designs. A lot of implementation methods have been proposed and well studied. However, several structures may not be selectable depending on the selected manufacturing process and EDA tools. In this paper, we discuss how to design Muller’s C-element according to the constraints specified using only standard cells in the selected cell library. The transistor level circuit structures are also discussed under the assumption which can design original cells. A new structure of a C-element using a D-latch will be also proposed. It is confirmed that the proposed structure has approximately twice the number of transistors compared to the traditional structures and the delay overhead is about 1.2 times larger than those.
