Abstract
In this paper, we present a new configuration of an asynchronous micropipeline, called locally distributed asynchronous (LDA) micropipeline, using a new control circuit. The control circuit generates local control signals according to the 4-phase signaling protocol. The control circuit is used to control the dynamic logic in the datapath. Comparisons based on simulations with other earlier published asynchronous micropipelines are also presented
