Abstract:
Systems and methods for application specific integrated circuit design using Chronos links are disclosed. A Chronos Link is an ASIC on-chip and off-chip interconnect communication protocol that allows interfaces to transmit and receive information. The protocol may utilize messages or signals to indicate the availability and/or readiness of information to be exchanged between a producer and a consumer allowing the communication to be placed on hold and to be resumed seamlessly. A method includes inserting gaskets and channel repeaters connected to interfaces of multiple intellectual property (IP) blocks in order to replace traditional links with Chronos Links; performing simplified floorplanning; performing simplified placement; performing simplified clock tree synthesis (CTS) and routing; and performing simplified timing closure.

Claim (Index 12):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the slave and the master synchronizer comprises a mutex circuit communicatively coupled to a flip-flop circuit, the mutex circuit configured to receive the asynchronous signal and the flip-flop circuit configured to transmit the transformed first or second asynchronous signal to the digital logic circuit.
