Can elastic circuits interface with standard buses?
Yes, in various ways. If the designer prefers to maintain the bus running synchronously, a synchronous-to-asynchronous interface using synchronizers or FIFOs can be included. A more efficient option is to make the bus elastic. For the design point of view, the logic of a standard bus (including the arbiters, mux/demuxes, pipeline registers, control, etc) is not different from the logic of any synchronous circuit. In that respect, the Elastix technology can be directly applied to the bus and obtained an elastic version of the standard bus with the same behavior.
