DUAL-RAIL DELAY INSENSITIVE ASYNCHRONOUS LOGIC PROCESSOR WITH SINGLE-RAIL SCAN SHIFT ENABLE

摘要

There is disclosed a self-timed processor. The self-timed processor includes combinatorial logic comprising multi-rail delay insensitive asynchronous logic (DIAL) to output one or more multi-rail data values to a multiplexer. It also includes a test pattern input to output a test pattern bit stream of multi-rail test data values to the multiplexer. The multiplexer has Boolean logic to output one or more multi-rail multiplexed values to a latch. The multiplexer also has a single rail selector input to select whether the multi-rail multiplexed values are the multi-rail data values or the multi-rail test data values.
