Abstract(in English) This paper proposes an entire CAD flow from PTL to layout for asynchronous VLSI circuits, which consists of existing synchronous CAD tools and newly developed asynchronous tools. Though conventional asynchronous design methodology has been based on the request-acknowledge handshaking model, this model is not familiar to synchronous circuits designers. Therefore, we proposed a new asynchronous circuit model which consists of a FSM controller and a datapath including seven control modules such as fork, select, merge, and registers, which is similar to synchronous circuit model and easily acceptable by synchronous circuit designers. The RTL description based on the model is translated into asynchronous circuits based on two-rail two phase model by the proposed CAD system, which adds request-acknowledge signals to function modules and translates the conventional single-rail function modules into two-rail ones and then into fine grain pipelined ones.
