Abstract :
We present a bus-access method for interchip communication in asynchronous pulse frequency encoded analog VLSI systems. The method is based on sensing traffic on the bus, and refraining from transmission if the bus is busy. This is similar to CSMA protocols for computer networks. The method may be implemented using standard digital gates. We discuss the bus traffic and briefly compare our solution to some existing solutions. We present some measured results from a MOSIS 2 μm chip
