Duplication-based redundancy schemes have proven to be effective in designing fully-resilient Quasi-delay Insensitive (QDI) asynchronous circuits. The complete resiliency, however, is accompanied by significant energy, latency, and area overhead. This paper presents a novel error-tolerant Null Convention Logic (NCL) architecture based on selective redundancy. Results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method in terms of area and energy utilization as compared to existing duplication-based NCL designs, targeting an image processing application.
