ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that regulates heat within an asynchronous circuit. During operation, the system monitors a temperature within the asynchronous circuit. If the temperature exceeds a threshold value, the system introduces a delay into the asynchronous circuit that causes signals to propagate more slowly through the asynchronous circuit. This causes circuit elements within the asynchronous circuit to switch less frequently and consequently causes the circuit elements to generate less heat.
