Scotts Valley, Calif. — A 12-person company has disclosed a novel approach to semiconductor clocking that could slash power budgets and open the door to chips that clock at terahertz rates. Startup ...

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 ...

Earlier designs were smaller, less complex, and had simpler clocking. A few years back, verification was much easier and clock modeling was not such a big concern. With the drastic increase in the use ...

In an era when power has become a fundamental design constraint, questions persist about whether asynchronous logic has a role to play. It is a design style said to have significant benefits and yet ...

This week we will look at standard synchronization techniques for multi-clock domain SoCs and FPGAs. Let us begin with the most common and simple option. In general, a conventional two flip-flop ...
