Abstract
 Self-timed (ST) circuit's indication subcircuit largely determines its performance. This problem is especially acute in multi-bit computing ST circuits, including multiplier. The classical indication involves generating an entire ST circuit total indication output, which takes part in handshaking ST units or ST pipeline stages. Multi-bit ST circuits that implement data processing algorithms with a high parallelism degree allow the use of group indication of the ST circuit outputs resulting in bitwise signals controlling their inputs' phase. The article describes a method of accelerating the indication subcircuit operation as applied to the ST-multiplier, which implements the modified Booth algorithm and uses the two-stage Wallace tree on adders with redundant (ternary) and dual-rail ST-coding of their inputs and outputs. Group indication and bitwise input control of both Wallace tree pipeline stages provide an increase in ST-multiplier performance by 40% with a penalty of 2.3-2.5% in its hardware.
