A clock-less asynchronous processing circuit or system is configured to operation in a plurality of modes. In an initialization mode (e.g., reset, initialization, boot up), a self-clocked generator associated with the asynchronous circuit is configured to generate an active complete signal (to latch output processed data) within a first period of time after receiving a trigger signal. In a normal mode, the self-clocked generator is configured to generate the active complete signal within a second period of time after receiving the trigger signal. In one embodiment, during the initialization mode, the asynchronous circuit latches the output slower than when in the normal mode.
