Abstract

This paper presents a semi-synchronous pipeline scheme, here referred as single-pulse pipeline, to the problem of mapping pipelined circuits to a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Area and timing considerations are given for a general case and later applied to a systolic circuit as illustration. The single-pulse pipeline can manage asynchronous worst-case data completion and it is evaluated against two chosen asynchronous pipelining: a four-phase bundle-data pipeline and a doubly-latched asynchronous pipeline. The semi-synchronous pipeline proposal takes less FPGA area and operates faster than the two selected fully-asynchronous schemes for an FPGA case.
