  • Synchronous to asynchronous logic conversion
    Patent number: 8291358
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to generate a synchronous netlist from a synchronous circuit design representation, automatically substitute asynchronous components taken from an asynchronous standard cell component library for corresponding standard cell synchronous components in the synchronous netlist to form an asynchronous core, and convert the synchronous netlist to an asynchronous circuit design representation. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2010
    Date of Patent: October 16, 2012
    Assignee: Achronix Semiconductor Corporation
    Inventors: Rajit Manohar, Gregor Martin, John Lofton Holt
