Asynchronous, or clockless, logic–an alternative to standard digital circuits that avoids many of their problems–is beginning to look attractive for embedded designs in consumer electronics and mobile ...

Managing the power consumption of ICs is an increasingly difficult challenge, because each new generation of portable device includes expanded features and demands longer battery lives.

There are a number of interesting technologies to keep an eye on in term of how and when they could be adopted for use in SoC design today, some of which include gallium arsenide, GPGPUs, 3D ICs and ...

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 ...

Lack of coordination between asynchronous resets and synchronous logic clocks leads to intermittent failures on power up. In this series of articles, we discuss the requirements and challenges of ...
