Abstract

We discuss a number of limitations of the current status of signal transition graphs (STG'S), a model which has recently become popular for designing asynchronous interface circuits. The major syntactic and semantic restrictions that can be lifted are safety, free-choice net structure and binary signal labelling. We present a number of instructive examples of interface control circuit specifications, which are semantically correct yet from such restrictions. Adequate techniques for analysis and implementation of the extended STG model are discussed.
