Asynchronous Primitives in CML High-Speed and Low-power VLSI 97.575 Winter 2003 Professor: M. Shams Prepared by: Masoud Mashhouri
Introduction • In this presentation, CML gates and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. • Also, a summary of a brief description of Asynchronous circuit is presented. • It is the main goal of this project to integrate the CML primitives into Asynchronous circuits.
Virtues of CML • Due to less number of PMOS transistors the input capacitance of these gates is lower than conventional CMOS. Therefore the speed is higher. • And,…the area is also much smaller than conventional CMOS. • Switching Noise non-existent, therefore the ground bounce is minimized. This is ideal for High-Frequency Application.
Draw-Backs • It has a constant power dissipation due to the continuous current through the current source. • Cascading is difficult due to the low output driving power.

Asynchronous Circuit Asynchronous Circuit have better performance. Among all other advantages, we can list: • No power dissipation when circuit is Idle. • No Clock network • No concern about clock skew • No power dissipation due to a clock network • Noise Immunity • Modularity • Technology Migration is easier in Asynchronous circuits.
