Abstract(in English) As the VLSI technology advances, delay variations will become more serious. Delay insensitive asynchronous dual-rail circuits tolerate any delay variation, but its energy consumption is more than twice of the single-rail circuit. However, in functional units, a significant number of input bits may not change from the previous input. Thus, we propose a method called unflip-bits control. We evaluate the energy consumption and performance penalty for the method using simulators, and compare the method with conventional dual-rail circuit and a synchronous circuit. Our evaluation results reveal that the proposed unflip-bits control is quite effective method of reducing the energy consumption and performance penalty of the asynchronous dual-rail circuit.
