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 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 ...

Make all clocks and asynchronous resets come from chip pins during scan mode. Ensure that all scan elements on a scan chain are in the same clock domain. Know the requirements and limitations of your ...

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 ...
