Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Currently, digital circuits are mainly realized as synchronous circuits that uses global clocks. In clock-synchronous circuit design, the reduction of clock period has been requested to improve the circuit performance. In complete-synchronous framework that is adopted as de facto standard in clock-synchronous circuit design, the maximum delay between Flip-Flops gives a lower bound of clock period. Therefore, the reduction of the maximum delay between Flip-Flops is pursued, but it approaches the limit. In this paper, we focus on the fact that the maximum delay varies depending on the input signal pattern, and introduce an error-detection-correction mechanism that enables a circuit to work with clock period which is less than the maximum delay. In order to confirm the effect of error-detection-correction mechanism, we evaluate the delay error rate of an adder and confirm that the effective clock period of the adder is reduced by introducing error-detection-correction mechanism.
