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 ...

As the quest grows to manage power in everything from the handheld smart phone to sensors for automotive applications and contactless payment cards, designers are getting hungry for new design ...

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 ...

Typical IC clocking schemes are under stress in complex chip/chiplet designs, where multiple compute elements may not be operating at the same frequency consistently. Some cores may be powered down to ...

Asynchronous, or clockless, logic–an alternative to standard digital circuits that avoids many of their problems–is beginning to look attractive for embedded designs in consumer electronics and mobile ...

SoCs are becoming more complex these days. A lot of functionality is being added to chips and data is frequently transferred from one clock domain to another. Hence, clock domain crossing verification ...

Understand how double-pumped, quad-pumped, and source-synchronous devices work, and you can capture the right data at the right time. High-speed digital buses continuously evolve. Not only are they ...
