"Constructor for Asynchronous Circuits"

Supervised by

Abstract

The aim of this dissertation project was to design a window-based software tool to aid the construction of asynchronous circuits. The software tool had to be designed in such a manner that it would be possible for a future dissertation project to extend it to an asynchronous circuit simulation tool.

A background to the theory of asynchronous circuits is provided followed by the design process that were employed when implementing the system.

The software tool produced provides the functionality required, and is designed in such a way that the simulation extension will be possible within the scope of another dissertation project.
