To meet low-power and high-performance requirements, system on chip (SoC) designs are equipped with several asynchronous and soft reset signals. These reset signals help to safeguard software and ...
One interesting topic of discussion is whether to use synchronous or asynchronous reset in design. In synchronous reset design, we use reset signal in the D path of flop. Hence, the assertion of reset ...
As the complexity of system-on-chip (SoC) designs escalates, driven by the demand for more integrated functionalities and higher performance, electronic components such as processors, power management ...
Metastability in design due to asynchronous clock domain crossing (CDC) is a well known problem. Industry standard advanced tools are available to catch such structural or functional issues in design.
Modern SoCs are equipped with complex reset architectures to meet the requirements of high-speed interfaces with increased functionality. These complex reset architectures with multiple reset domains, ...
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 ...
In an environment where chip-design risks have ballooned to worrying levels, a verification methodology based on just linting and simulation does not cut it. Identifying specific sources of ...
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 ...
