Asynchronous
Logic - Virtually all digital design today is based on a synchronous approach.
The total system is designed as the composition of one or more subsystems where
each subsystem is a clocked finite state machine; the subsystem changes from
one state to the next on the edges of a regular clock. The state is held in
a set of flip-flops (registers), and combinatorial logic is used to derive the
new state and outputs from the old state and inputs. The new state is copied
through the flip-flops on every rising edge of the clock signal. Special techniques
are required whenever a signal crosses into the domain of a particular clock
(either from outside the system or from the domain of a different clock within
the same system), but otherwise the system behaves in a discrete and deterministic
way provided a few rules are followed; these rules include managing the delays
of the combinatorial logic so that the flip-flop set up and hold times are met
under all conditions.
Asynchronous design does not follow this methodology; in general there is no clock to
govern the timing of state changes. Subsystems exchange information at mutually negotiated
times with no external timing regulation.

MICROELECTRONIC SYSTEMS NEWS -
Microelectronic Systems News, formerly known as the MOSIS Users' Group (MUG) Newsletter,
includes not only items of interest to those designing integrated circuits for prototyping
via MOSIS but also for those designing, prototyping and producing microelectronic systems.
Notices of new items are broadcast to about 1800 subscribers throughout the world. There
is no charge for this service.
