Abstract:
There is disclosed a self-timed processor. The self-timed processor includes a plurality of functional blocks comprising null convention logic. Each of the functional blocks outputs one or more multi-rail data values. A global acknowledge tree generates a global acknowledge signal provided to all of the plurality of functional blocks. The global acknowledge signal switches to a first state when all of the multi-rail data values output from the plurality of functional blocks are in respective valid states, and the global acknowledge signal switches to a second state when all of the multi-rail data values output from the plurality of functional blocks are in a null state.

Claim (Index 10):
A self-timed processor comprising:\n a plurality of registers; and a global acknowledge tree to generate a global acknowledge signal provided to all of the plurality of registers, wherein\n two or more multi-rail null convention logic (NCL) data values output from one or more of the plurality of registers are combined by one or more unate gates to provide at least one multi-rail NCL input to one of the plurality of registers, and \n the global acknowledge signal switches to a first state when all of the multi-rail NCL data values output from the plurality of registers are in respective valid states, and \n the global acknowledge signal switches to a second state when all of the NCL multi-rail values data output from the plurality of registers are in a null state.
