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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Reset architectures are notoriously complex and difficult to verify. Today’s SoCs contain highly complex reset distributions and synchronization circuitry. Often, reset trees can be larger than clock ...
