....analysis and SPICE simulations, and Section 3.7 presents conclusions. 3.1 Previous Work on Asynchronous Sequencers In non pipelined macromodular systems, the most basic operation is the sequencing of computations or data processing actions. Such sequences can be very long. For 29 example, Bailey [4] reports that the longest sequence in the asynchronous error decoder circuit for a DCC player [92] consists of 48 processes. Two common protocols have been used in asynchronous sequencers: sequential and concurrent. 3.1.1 Sequential Protocol The most common scheme is a sequential protocol. ....

Seeking to improve on the Tangram circuit, Josephs and Bailey introduced a centralized sequencer [4]. Figure 3.3 shows a schematic counter decoder sequencer. The counter centralizes the state of the sequencer and the decoder distributes the signals to the processes resulting in improved initial and phase inter process latencies 32 compared to the Tangram tree sequencer. The circuit is ....

.... pipeline control is a very active research area [21, 7, 27] Sequential computation is used in some DSP systems with moderate timing requirements, usually aimed at low power operation, e.g. FIR filter bank [14] DCC error corrector [24] Active research is done in sequencer control also [22, 25, 1]. The focus of this paper is on sequential computation. The optimizations introduced in this paper improve the throughput of an asynchronous sequential system by increasing the amount of concurrent activity. A key control element, that has a large impact on concurrency, is the sequencer. In ....
