Abstract: In this paper we describe a low-power infra-red communications receiver chip designed using asynchronous techniques. We focus on aspects that were difficult to implement asynchronously, and contrast our techniques with synchronous ones, where possible. We also detail the methodology used to design the chip, and the asynchronous toolset that was created to support it.
