As chip designs grow in complexity and face tighter power constraints, depending on a single clock domain is no longer ...

Here are some of the main reasons why metastability may occur in our designs and some of the ways in which we can mitigate its effects In my previous column, we introduced the concept of setup and ...

If only we’d been taught the tricks associated with the asynchronous domain, we could have run wild and free; instead, we were condemned to serve the rules of the synchronous realm. In my previous ...

To meet low-power and high-performance requirements, system on chip (SoC) designs are equipped with several asynchronous and soft reset signals. These reset signals help to safeguard software and ...

As system-on-chip (SoC) designs evolve, they aren’t just getting bigger — they’re becoming more intricate. One of the trickiest challenges in this evolution lies in handling resets. Today’s ...
