The definition of a source-synchronous system is a system that uses a strobe or clock signal generated by the address/data signal source to latch or clock the address/data signals at the receiving agent. Implementing a self-timed strobe at the receiver eliminates the flight time variable from system timing equations. Eliminating flight time allows the designer to maximize the potential bandwidth of any interface technology by increasing the operating frequency. Because interface signal timing is now working in "relative" time, the global skew requirements of a system clock have likely been reduced.
