Abstract: | In contrast to combinational logic and master clocked sequential logical, asynchronous feedback circuits are partially defined due to analogous meta-stabilities. We present a novel formalism to exactly explore this digitally assisted analog phenomenon in order to build up a representative test bench that is able to enforce race constraints (meta-stable behavior) for non-deterministics, instabilities as well as for oscillations in feedback structures. Further, we introduce our definitions for consistently modeling under state transition graphs, we provide all entities for modeling asynchronous feedback structures and state our proposed methodology with an exemplary asynchronous circuitry. The given example is explained at a high level of abstraction, all data for revision is provided, too. The approach seems to be capable to test for meta-stabilities, analog behavior in feedback digital structures. |
