Repeater

Specifications

Informal

A Repeater is a handshake component with one passive port a and one active port b. A request on the passive port brings about an infinite sequence of handshakes on the active port. The handshake on a is never completed.

DI Algebra

Specification in DI Algebra:


NAME = Repeater
I = { a0?, b1? }
O = { a1!, b0! }
REP = S
S   = [a0? -> b0!;R, b1? -> CHAOS]
R   = [b1? -> b0!;R, a0? -> CHAOS]

Implementations

DI Decompositions

  1. A Repeater can be implemented with a Merge in combination with a Passive Source (to provide the output terminal that is never used) (not equ):
