While metastability—an indeterminate state in a digital circuit—is far from a new topic, increasingly faster signal rates can put your design at greater disk to the phenomena. Certainly you should ...

Corrective control of asynchronous sequential machines (ASMs) represents a critical advancement in the design and operation of digital systems where state transitions occur without synchronous timing.

CMOS is, and will continue to be, the work-horse process technology of the semi-conductor industry. But designers of large devices, of complex SoCs and of devices using multiple IP elements are ...
