Benefits of self-timed circuits

Low power consumption

  • Extended battery lifetimes
  • More functionality from a fixed power supply
  • More processing from the same power budget

Zero standby power and immediate response

Lower current peaks

  • No ground bounce
  • Low-cost integration of digital and analog / RF circuits into a single chip

Reduced EME

  • Easier integration of digital and RF components in a single package

The added benefits of Handshake Technology

  • Disciplined approach to designing self-timed circuits
  • Ready for industrialization
  • Standard IP blocks available
  • Plug-and-play integration of clocked and clockless blocks
  • Flexibility to choose amount of clockless circuitry – from a few gates to complete systems
  • Compatible with standard design, prototyping and testing tools
