Races, missed next-state values due to long paths, and metastability can result from corrupted clock signals. This post describes the challenges of clock network and clock jitter analysis in more ...

Rather, for a high-speed clock, the interval measurements represent an undersampled subset of the clock intervals selected from a much larger number of clock cycles. Traditional equivalent-time ...

Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded systems, providing timing references and synchronization between components, subsystems, and entire systems. Incorrect clock signal amplitudes and timing can ...

Flip-flops work on the principle of static memories that use positive feedback to create bistable circuit (back to back inverters feeding each other) – which have two stable states i.e. logic 0 and ...

With increased clock domains in modern ASICs, clock-domain crossing (CDC) has become ubiquitous, indispensable, and essential. Of course, timing is always an issue. High clock speeds and delays in ...

At a logical level, synchronous designs are very simple and the clock just happens. But the clocking network is possibly the most complex in a chip, and it’s fraught with the most problems at the ...

One of the most important steps in the design process is to identify how many different clocks to use and how to route them. This article tells you how to use routing resources efficiently.
