Abstract :
Micropipelines have been used in self-timed systems to increase the throughput of the datapath. However, the potential speedup is limited by the overhead due to handshaking between adjacent stages. Data-driven differential cascode voltage switch logic (DSDCVSL) can be used to design efficient self-timed pipeline structures, wherein the handshaking overhead is minimized, due to implicit completion signal generation. This paper defines a new data-driven micropipelined structure that shows a 30% improvement in throughput and latency over existing systems
