Abstract :
A calibratable on-chip timing reference circuit has been developed to enable a self-timed microprocessor to interface to standard offchip memory and peripheral devices. The circuit exhibits several of the desirable properties of self-timed circuitry such as low power consumption and low electromagnetic interference (EMI). In addition, it is highly testable.
