Lack of coordination between asynchronous resets and synchronous logic clocks leads to intermittent failures on power up. In this series of articles, we discuss the requirements and challenges of ...

Lack of coordination between asynchronous resets and synchronous logic clocks leads to intermittent failures on power up. In this series of articles, we discuss the requirements and challenges of ...

Synchronous interfaces involve a single clock domain and are relatively easy to design. However, at times, it is advantageous and necessary to have an asynchronous interface between peripherals for ...

Multiple, independent clocks are ubiquitous in system-on-chip (SoC) design. Most SoC devices have multiple interfaces, some following standards that use very different clock frequencies. Many modern ...

The modern ASIC consists of millions of gates and billions of transistors that often can be operating in several domains having different voltages and clock frequencies. To avoid data loss, designers ...

Many of today's system-on-chip (SoC) designs cause significant problems and delays as they go through the physical design process. Yes, physical design is harder than ever. But part of the problem is ...
