<p>Methods and systems for converting synchronous circuit designs to asynchronous circuit designs, and particularly programmable asynchronous circuit designs. Provide is a systematic, workable and repeatable process for evaluating synchronous circuit designs, converting the wires, switches/connections and logic functions to equivalent-function asynchronous circuit designs and hence implementing a functionally equivalent asynchronous circuit with all the benefits thereof. Further provided are a process for systematically doing the conversion and hardware equivalents (in form or functional description) for the asynchronous components. Using the present invention, any synchronous circuit design can be converted to an asynchronous equivalent, typically with no change to the original design implementation.</p> |
