Abstract :
Self-timed system organization does not require the central clock; the operation of a system progresses upon the commands or signals that are generated immediately after a particular system operation has been executed. This paper presents several implementations of self-timed systems. The performance figures for such systems match those of synchronous systems, but at the cost of added circuitry
