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 ...
Ask any programmer who has ever had to deal with timekeeping on a computer, and they’re likely to go on at length about how it can be a surprisingly difficult thing to keep track of. Time zones, leap ...
Nothing accelerates a testability engineer's receding hairline as the addition of further clock domains to the latest SoC or IC design. Avoiding clock skew during test is becoming one of the biggest ...
