Only the most elementary logic circuits use a single clock. Most data-movement applications, including disk-drive controllers, CDROM/DVD controllers, modems, network interfaces, and network processors ...

FIFO (First In First Out) is a buffer that stores data in a way that data stored first comes out of the buffer first. Asynchronous FIFO is most widely used in the System-on-Chip (SoC) designs for data ...

Among the many verification challenges confronting system-on-chip designers these days, clock domain crossings (CDCs) rank near the top in difficulty. Two particularly troublesome CDC-related issues ...
