We propose a low area overhead and power-efficient asynchronous-logic quasi-delay-insensitive (QDI) sense-amplifier half-buffer (SAHB) approach with quad-rail (i.e., 1-of-4) data encoding. The proposed quad-rail SAHB approach is targeted for area- and energy-efficient asynchronous network-on-chip (A...
