Wave-pipelining is a method of high-performance
circuit design which implements pipelining in logic without the
use of intermediate latches or registers. The combination of
high-performance integrated circuit (IC) technologies, pipelined
architectures, and sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD)
tools has converted wave-pipelining from a theoretical oddity
into a realistic, although challenging, VLSI design method. This
paper presents a tutorial of the principles of wave-pipelining and
a survey of wave-pipelined VLSI chips and CAD tools for the
synthesis and analysis of wave-pipelined circuits
