Abstract :
In this paper, we propose an asynchronous wrapper with novel handshake circuits for data communication to be used in GALS systems. The handshake circuits include two communication ports and a local clock controller. We present two approaches for the implementation of communication ports; one with pure standard cells and the other with Muller C elements. The detailed design methodology is given and the circuits are validated with VHDL and circuits simulation in standard CMOS technology.
