Squeezing the remaining nanoseconds out of digital logic

Des Howlett

The speed of digital logic is governed by three main aspects: process
technology, design techniques and the basic laws of physics.
Technology is continually being improved, but the one place that
Engineers have the most influence is the design methodology. They
constantly strive to reduce the logic delays between clocked elements
in order to get the highest possible system speed.

This talk will show a means by which the delays can be reduced to just
one or two gates by blending synchronous and asynchronous techniques.
In doing so, circuits can remain fully synchronous, use standard
design tools (including FPGAs) yet allow functions to take only the
amount of time that they actually require.

This event is free of charge and open to all, with refreshments at 19.00.

Travelling by car and parking

We recommend you use the Shinfield Road entrance to the University
(see link to the Whiteknights map above) and follow event signs to the
Palmer Building. Although all parking on campus is free of charge with
no permit required after 5pm, we advise guests park in car park 4 (P4
on the Whiteknights map). Once parked, guests are invited to make
their way to the Palmer Building (1 minute walk).
