Asynchronous processors are an attractive research field, since they offer many advantages over synchronous processors. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), one of the dominant media at present for prototyping and implementing digital circuits, is used to construct 8-bit asynchronous RISC processor. The processor employs conceptual framework a Sutherland micropipeline, modular approach design circuits.
