Abstract
In this chapter, we consider several types of behaviors that may be used for specifying and analyzing asynchronous circuits. Section 12.1 shows how a number of behaviors may be associated with a simple OR gate. In Section 12.2, we consider the classical primitive flow table specifications. We point out some deficiencies of the flow table approach, and we compare it with our formal model of behaviors. In Section 12.3 we discuss the derivation of behaviors of networks operated in fundamental mode. General fundamental-mode behaviors can be abbreviated to the “direct” behaviors described in Section 12.4, if transient states are of no interest. Moreover, many behaviors encountered in practice are even more restricted. For this reason, we introduce in Section 12.5 the class of “serial” behaviors. These behaviors will be used again in Chapters 13 and 14.
