Title |
Self-timed design in GaAs - case study of a high-speed parallel multiplier |
Date |
1996 |
Description |
Abstract-The problems with synchronous designs at high clock frequencies have been well documented. This makes an asynchronous approach attractive for high speed technologies like GaAs. We investigate the issues involved by describing the design of a parallel multiplier that can be part of a floating point multiplier. We first present a new architecture called the partial army of array (PAA) that is more regular than a partial tree approach while having the same latency. We then show how this architecture can be used in a self-timed implementation in the style of micropipelines. We next describe how we can design the final carry propagate adder using a new precharged logic family in GaAs that we developed as part of this project. We conclude with some genera1 observations on doing asynchronous design in GaAs. |
