| Abstract | In this paper, we present a novel synchronization approach to support data flow in clockless designs using single-rail encoding. This approach is based on self-resetting stage logic in which a pipeline stage resets itself before starting the next execution cycle. As such, a stage goes through a reset phase when its output is null, and an evaluate phase when its output is the result of the evaluation of its inputs. To insure correct operation, a pipeline stage is ready to absorb inputs from a previous stage if it is in the reset phase. As a result, data flow from one stage to another when the preceding stage is in the evaluate phase while the following stage is in the reset phase. To support this data flow, a latch-based synchronization mechanism is proposed. This mechanism yields an efficient and simple uni-directional handshaking scheme between stages that allows for easy implementation. This handshaking scheme is extended to handle the join and forks of data flows encountered in non-linear pipelines. A concept design of a four-bit 16-stage pipeline is presented to illustrate the inner workings of self-resetting stage logic and its data-flow synchronization mechanism. The pipeline performance is examined through a detailed signal timing analysis. This analysis reveals some insights on how the duration of the evaluate phase gradually increases while the duration of the reset phase and the latch enable gradually decreases toward the left stages of the pipeline. This gradual decrease in the duration of the enable of the latches between stages is used to derive a bound on the maximum possible depth of the pipeline. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
