While metastability—an indeterminate state in a digital circuit—is far from a new topic, increasingly faster signal rates can put your design at greater disk to the phenomena. Certainly you should ...

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 ...

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 ...
