Abstract :
The authors explore one approach to self-timed design and describe implementations of an example circuit in three different technologies. The simple routing chip, used as the example has been described by writing a program in OCCAM, translated into a circuit consisting of a small set of basic modules, and implemented using Actel FPGA (field-programmable gate array), CMOS, and GaAs technologies. These technologies represent a wide range of price and performance characteristics
