In digital design, there are two types of design, synchronous design and asynchronous design. In synchronous design, global clock is one of the main system that consume a lot of power. The power in synchronous design is consumed by clock even if there is no data processing take place. The asynchronous design that depends on data is clockless and as far as the power is concerned, asynchronous design does not consume much power compared with synchronous design and this really make asynchronus design the preffered choice for low power consumption. Besides having low power consumption, there are many advantages of aynchronous design compared with synchronous design. This paper proposed new dual rail completion detector (CD), 3-6 CD, 2-7 CD and 1-4 CD for on-chip communication that are used widely in an asynchronous communication system. The design of CD is based on the principle of sum adder. The circuit is designed by using Altera Quartus II CAD tools, synthesis and implementation process is executed to check the syntax error of the design. The design proved to be successful by using asynchronous on-chip communication in the simulation.

A high performance and low power architecture is devised for a 4 Mbps infrared wireless communication system dedicated to mobile computing. In this architecture, 4PPM (4-Pulse Position Modulation) infrared signals detected by an infrared receiver are digitized into TTL interface level pulses, and the digitized pulses are demodulated by a 1-bit digital demodulator. To extend the range of the link length, a 4PPM demodulator is synthesized to implement a demodulation algorithm which is constructed so as to accommodate the output tolerance of the infrared receiver. A part of the experimental results shows that the proposed 4 Mbps infrared communication system can achieve an error free link in the range of 0–140 cm at power consumption of 245 mW and 65 mW for transmitting and receiving, respectively. The communication controller is integrated in a 0.6 μm CMOS standard-cell chip which contains 10,015 transistors on a 12 mm2 die.
