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 the previous installment, we talked about why flip flops are such an important part of digital design. We also looked at some latch circuits. This time, I want to look at some actual flip ...

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 ...

Metastability can cause a spacecraft electronic failure. It may render a very expensive spacecraft/satellite unusable and if the spacecraft is manned, there could be lives in danger. A simple D ...
