Résumé : In this correspondence, we have introduced the concept of mixed-operation mode (MOM) in asynchronous sequential machines. A synthesis method using edge-sensitive flip-flops with set and reset inputs is presented. The excitation circuitry is decomposed into two parts by an algorithmic procedure principally allowing the detection of the excitations which should be self-synchronized to eliminate critical races and multiple-input-change problems. MOM yields both the speed of a synchronous operation and the simplicity that results from asynchronous excitation. A comparison between a system operating in MOM and a wholly self-synchronized system reveals that usually the former results in saving logic as well as improvement in the speed.
