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 ...

In the previous installment, we talked about why flip flops are such an important part of digital design. We also looked at some latch circuits. This time, I want to look at some actual flip ...

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 ...

With increased clock domains in modern ASICs, clock-domain crossing (CDC) has become ubiquitous, indispensable, and essential. Of course, timing is always an issue. High clock speeds and delays in ...
