Abstract(in English) Since asynchronous circuits have no clock, the completion of the computation must be notified by using some special ways. There exists a class of asynchronous circuits which generate such completion signals by themselves. These circuits function under a signaling scheme called protocol. In this paper, we discuss how to implement such a class of asynchronous circuits. In the previous works, the implementation of such circuits needs asynchronous automata which make the circuits complicated and slow. In this paper, we propose a new protocol which guarantees that environment can correctly know the completion of the computation, and show that circuits which satisfy the protocol can be implemented without involving asynchronous automata.
