A quasi-delay-insensitive circuit (QDI circuit) is an asynchronous circuit design methodology employed in digital logic design. Developed in response to the performance challenges of building sub-micron, multi-core architectures with conventional synchronous designs, QDI circuits exhibit lower power consumption, extremely fine-grain pipelining, high circuit robustness against process–voltage–temperature variations, on-demand (event-driven) operation, and data-dependent completion time.
