ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that limits a maximum repetition rate of an asynchronous circuit. The system operates by receiving a clock signal at a rate-controlling circuit for the asynchronous circuit from a source external to the asynchronous circuit. The system then uses the clock signal to limit the maximum repetition rate of the asynchronous circuit so that only a predetermined number of asynchronous transactions may take place during each cycle of the clock signal.
