Abstract

Methods, systems, and circuits for implementing multi-clock designs in asynchronous logic circuits are described. A method may include associating one or more data tokens with a clock domain of a multi-clock domain netlist. A durational relationship between a clock period associated with the clock domain and one or more other clock domains of the multi-clock domain netlist may be determined. Data tokens used in other clock domains may be transformed based on the determined relationship.
