Races, missed next-state values due to long paths, and metastability can result from corrupted clock signals. This post describes the challenges of clock network and clock jitter analysis in more ...

Designs with LogicBIST exhibit random pattern resistance because of the random nature of LBIST vectors, thus leading to low fault coverage. To handle this, we insert test points with the help of ...

Whether designing SOCs with traditional synchronous logic or alternative locally, or self-clocked "asynchronous" blocks, verification has become more important, difficult and time consuming, ...

Circuit delay is increasingly affected by process variations at lower technology nodes. Global variations are in double digits now, and according to the International Technology Roadmap for ...

Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded systems, providing timing references and synchronization between components, subsystems, and entire systems. Incorrect clock signal amplitudes and timing can ...

To many engineers, clock selection involves nothing more than identifying a clock that will generate the necessary frequency or frequencies/output format, including it in the design, and moving on.

Multisource CTS represents a new clock-distribution technology that fills the methodology gap between conventional CTS and pure clock mesh. Whereas pure clock mesh delivers the best possible clock ...
