Abstract :
Asynchronous IC technology research has been carried out in Nokia Research Center in the project, where four different test chips were manufactured and measured. The measurement results indicate significant power savings compared to synchronous circuits. This paper presents our asynchronous design flow, test design, and the measurement result of manufactured test chip samples.
