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 ...

As system-on-chip (SoC) designs grow larger, designers must grapple with serious global timing problems, the effect of wire loading and timing delays and the performance hit associated with supporting ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

May 29, 2014 – Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now stocking the new Synchronous SRAMs from Cypress Semiconductor. These new Synchronous SRAMs are available in densities from 4 Megabit (Mbit) to as high as ...

The synchronous vs. asynchronous design debate erupts every now and then, usually when a vocal minority swears by asynchronous design, often claiming that asynchronous design delivers higher ...

This course will give you the foundation for using Hardware Description Languages, specifically VHDL and Verilog for Logic Design. You will learn the history of both VHDL and Verilog and how to use ...

A synchronous computer has been developed that operates using the unique physics of moving water droplets. Their goal is to design a new class of computers that can precisely control and manipulate ...

Many of today’s switching power supplies implement synchronous rectifiers to improve efficiency. In isolated topologies, the power-supply controller typically is located on the primary side of the ...
