The modern ASIC consists of millions of gates and billions of transistors that often can be operating in several domains having different voltages and clock frequencies. To avoid data loss, designers ...

Part of the hierarchical development flow is about to get a lot simpler, thanks to a new standard being created by Accellera. What is less clear is how long will it take before users see any benefit.

Metastability is bound to occur in VLSI designs during clock domain crossing. For a robust and reliable design, metastability needs to be mitigated. To understand how to resolve it and how to build a ...

In the realm of safety-critical electronic hardware, particularly those governed by DO-254 compliance directives, ensuring design integrity is paramount. One of the most insidious challenges designers ...
