All chip designers know that they must take special care to avoid metastability problems when they have multiple, asynchronous clock domains. In contrast, a design in which all clocks are synchronous ...

Process time vs. cycle time is a discussion that comes up often for newcomers to Six Sigma. Understanding these principles and how they apply to your time management is vital. Failing to grasp these ...

Timing closure is a critical step in the chip development process. The performance and timing of a design must be verified, and any violations must be investigated and resolved. This includes the ...
