Asynchronous circuits are digital logic circuits that do not use a global clock signal to synchronize their components, instead relying on handshaking protocols. They have the potential to be faster and more power efficient than synchronous circuits, and have been used in commercial products since the 1990s. Research into asynchronous circuits is an active area of digital logic design.
