Handshake Solutions is the first company to offer the market a proven methodology for designing self-timed circuitry that allows commercial exploitation of some of the key benefits of clockless technology — extremely low power consumption, low electromagnetic emissions and low ground bounce.

At DesignCon 2007 we will show our EDA toolset and our clockless IP cores like HT80c51 and ARM996HS. Handshake Solutions is a Line of Business of Philips Electronics.

TiDE is an all-in-one suite of easy-to-use tools for designing and optimizing clockless circuits using Handshake Technology. Compatible with standard EDA toolsets, it offers designers a high degree of familiarity. The design flow is based on standard-cell libraries and allows clockless designs to be created without dedicated asynchronous standard cells. TiDE supports both scan-test-based Design-for-Test and FPGA prototyping.

The HT80C51 is the Handshake Technology implementation of the ubiquitous 80C51 8-bit microcontroller. Functionally compatible with the original, the HT80C51 allows designers to leverage the vast existing software library available on the market. It is ideal for use in any 80C51 application, delivering improved performance at a significantly lower power level. This highly flexible block is capable of operating in either synchronous or asynchronous mode and is fully configurable with a growing range of peripheral functions.

Real-time embedded applications can now draw on the power and embedded-efficiency of the ARM996HS processor; the world's first synthesizable clockless ARM9ETM family processor. It combines the reliable Handshake Technology with the renowned ARM processor architecture to deliver a compact, efficient and robust processor with very low electromagnetic emission and a remarkably low power consumption.
