Abstract :
We describe an automated method (3D-map) for determining near-optimal decomposed generalized C-element (gC) implementations of extended burst-mode asynchronous controllers. Average-case optimization is performed so that frequent paths are accelerated, possibly at the expense of less frequent paths. The overall effect, as quantified using Elmore delay analysis, is a circuit that has near-optimal performance for the average or common case
