We present novel asynchronous VLSI comparator schemes which are based on recentlyproposed, reconfigurable shift switch logic and the traditional (precharged) CMOSdomino logic. The schemes always produce a semaphore as a by-product of the processto indicate the end of domino process, which requires no additional delay and a minimalnumber of additional devices. For a large percentage of inputs the computations aremuch faster than traditional synchronous comparators due to the full utilization of theinherent speed of the circuits. Also the schemes are simple, area compact and stable
