BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CSL-TR-73-52 ENTRY:: December 01, 1994 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Computer Systems Laboratory TITLE:: HAZARDS IN ASYNCHRONOUS SYSTEMS TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Chewning, D. R. AUTHOR:: Bredt, Thomas H. DATE:: September 1972 PAGES:: 22 ABSTRACT:: Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of static and dynamic hazards in combinational circuits that undergo multiple input changes. These theorems are applied in the analysis of modules, such as the wye module, that have been proposed for asynchronous systems. We show that unless internal module delays are strictly less than delays between modules, incorrect operation can occur due to hazards in module implementations.
