Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing Chronos Channel interconnects in an ASIC are provided. Chronos Channels rely on a reduced set of timing assumptions and are robust against delay variations. Chronos Channels transmit data using delay insensitive (DI) codes and quasi-delay-insensitive (QDI) logic. Chronos Channels are insensitive to all wire and gate delay variations, but for those belonging to a few specific forking logic paths called isochronic forks. Chronos Channels use temporal compression in internal paths to reduce the overheads of QDI logic and efficiently transmit data. Chronos Channels are defined by a combination of a DI code, a temporal compression ratio and hardware.

Claim (Index 1):
A point-to-point connection between a first intellectual property (IP) block and a second IP block of an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), the point-to-point connection comprising:\n a transmitter (TX) associated with the first IP block, the TX comprising one or more delay insensitive (DI) encoders and one or more temporal compressors, and configured to transform input data signals from the first IP block into one or more temporally compressed DI asynchronous signals and transmit the temporally compressed DI asynchronous signals via a channel; a receiver (RX) associated with the second IP block, the RX comprising one or more DI decoders and one or more temporal decompressors, and configured to receive the one or more DI asynchronous signals via the channel and restore the one or more compressed DI asynchronous signals to form a representation of the input data signals compliant to an input data format of the second IP block; and wherein the channel is a timing independent channel between the first IP block and the second IP block, wherein the one or more DI asynchronous signals from the TX are propagated via the timing independent channel in a self-timed fashion to the RX.
