They operate according to the GFM, meaning that a new state transition may only start when the whole circuit (gates and lines) is stable. Thispaperaddressesburst-modeasynchronouscontrollers. Theiradvantagesaretheuseofbasicgates,similaritywith synchronousdesign.Thesecontrollershavebeenadoptedin importantindustrialandacademicdesigns[11–13]. FPGAs are popular components for prototyping and productionofdigitalcircuitsduetotheirlowcostandshort design time. Their focus has been on synchron
