Abstract:

A novel asynchronous FIFO design is presented in this paper. It employs a weighted gray code as the write/ read pointer code,and controls write/read o  perations using a real-time global state detector. It is a high-performance asynchronous FIFO design. Simulation results show that the performance and a rea cost are both considerably improved compared with other available FIFOs under the depth range of 4-16. The asynchronous FIFO can be widely used in t he interconnect  design of multi-core SoC.
