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 ...

Asynchronous vs. synchronous topologies. How a synchronous boost LED controller minimizes efficiency losses. The challenge of low-input-voltage operation. High-power LEDs continue to proliferate in ...

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 ...

While metastability—an indeterminate state in a digital circuit—is far from a new topic, increasingly faster signal rates can put your design at greater disk to the phenomena. Certainly you should ...

The block called Asynchronous Decoupler allows asynchronous communication between two synchronous IPs endowed with an STBus interface, according to the GALS (Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous) ...

The 74HC160D is a presettable sychronous BCD decade counter with asynchronous reset. It features synchronous counting and loading, two count enable inouts for n-bit cascading, positive-edge triggered ...

I know you’ve heard of both synchronous and asynchronous communications. But do you really know the differences between the two? Serial communication was used long before computers existed. A ...

It has to make sense to leverage different ways of communicating with different people in different situations. While virtual communication is more efficient, in-person communication is more effective ...
