Abstract :
This paper introduces the potential benefits of using asynchronous circuits in integrated chips. Their potential advantages in high speed, low power, design of secure chips and enhancing the yield are discussed. In addition, drawbacks of using asynchronous circuits are listed and some practical solutions are proposed.
