Abstract(in English) An asynchronous circuit is power-efficient for low-workload sub-circuits since there is no power consumption of the clock tree. On the other hand, a synchronous circuit is power-efficient for high-workload sub-circuits because of its simple hardware. Exploiting the advantages of the synchronous circuit and the asynchronous circuit, each sub-circuit of the proposed FPGA performs as either synchronous circuit or asynchronous circuit according to its workload. Since the hardware amount of the asynchronous circuit is about double that of the synchronous circuit, the major concern is designing the functional unit which is efficient for both asynchronous and synchronous circuits. In order to fully exploiting the hardware resources, in the proposed FPGA, a functional unit can be selected to perform as either a single asynchronous four-input LUT or two synchronous four-input LUTs.
