Abstract
We present a novel approach to prototyping asynchronous circuits which uses clocked field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Unlike other proposed techniques for implementing asynchronous circuits on FPGAs, our method does not attempt to preserve the pure asynchronous nature of the circuit. Rather, it preserves the communication behavior of the circuits and uses synchronous duals for common asynchronous modules
