Reset is an important mechanism to bring a digital system into a known state. The need for reset is governed by the system design and application, and various data and control paths are designed to ...

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Chip designers are divided when it comes to choosing synchronous or asynchronous resets, according to postings in the latest E-Mail Synopsys Users Group (ESNUG) 409 bulletin. An ...

To meet low-power and high-performance requirements, system on chip (SoC) designs are equipped with several asynchronous and soft reset signals. These reset signals help to safeguard software and ...

Reset is one of the most important signals in a design and yet perhaps one of the least respected. What can go wrong and how to correct it. Resets are a necessary part of all synchronous designs ...

Synchronous interfaces involve a single clock domain and are relatively easy to design. However, at times, it is advantageous and necessary to have an asynchronous interface between peripherals for ...
