ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to take this opportunity to thank certain people without whom I would not have been able to make this project report.
Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude towards my teacher, Mr. Harshpreet Singh Walia, Assistant Professor, Department of CSE, for his kind co-operation and encouragement which helped me in completion of this project.
I am highly indebted to my friends for their guidance and constant supervision as well as for providing necessary information regarding the project.
Lastly, I would like to thank my family members who always support me keep encouraging me to do better.

ABSTRACT
The term paper is about synchronous and asynchronous circuits and their differences. The advantages and disadvantages of both synchronous and asynchronous circuits are discussed further. The clock gating and clock signals are explained. Further, the sequential machines moore and mealy are discussed. In the end, the differences between the two types of circuits are highlighted. Also, the term paper is summed with a conclusion in the end.
ASYNCHRONOUS CIRCUITS
An asynchronous circuit is a circuit in which the parts are largely autonomous. They are not governed by a clock circuit or global clock signal, but instead needs to only wait for the signals that indicate completion of instructions and operations. These signals are specified by simple data transfer protocols. [1]This
