ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a control queue for an asynchronous circuit that includes a number of control modules coupled together linearly to form the control queue. These control modules include a prior module, a present module, and a next module. The present module is configured to receive one or more forward-going inputs from the prior module and one or more reverse-going inputs from the next module. The present module asynchronously generates one or more forward-going outputs to the next module and one or more reverse-going outputs to the prior module. The modules within the control queue are constructed so that the latency of the forward-going signals through the control queue is equal to the latency of the reverse-going signals through the control queue.
