Isochronous signal
In telecommunication, an isochronous signal is a signal in which the time interval separating any two significant instants is equal to the unit interval
In mathematics, the unit interval is the closed interval , that is, the set of all real n ...

Plesiochronous system
In telecommunications, a plesiochronous system is one where different parts of the system are almost, but not quite, perfectly synchronised. According to ITU-T standards, a pair of signals are plesiochronous if their significant instants occur at ...

Asynchronous system
The primary focus of this article is asynchronous control in digital electronic systems. In a synchronous system, operations ( instructions, calculations, logic, etc.) are coordinated by one, or more, centralized clock signals. An asynchron ...
