摘要
Various delay-insensitive circuits for modulo-N counters are formally derived and analyzed. Modulo-N counter's are used in many circuit designs and have a simple specification, but allow for a surprising variety of decompositions into networks of basic components. We present three decompositions in detail. Along the way we ''plain our correctness criteria and show how to analyze the area complexity and response time of each decomposition. Our final decomposition for the modulo-N counter has optimal area complexity of THETA(logN) and optimal response time of THETA(1).
