The synchronous vs. asynchronous design debate erupts every now and then, usually when a vocal minority swears by asynchronous design, often claiming that asynchronous design delivers higher ...

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 ...

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 ...

CMOS is, and will continue to be, the work-horse process technology of the semi-conductor industry. But designers of large devices, of complex SoCs and of devices using multiple IP elements are ...

When ICs first became available to electronics engineers 30 years ago, oscilloscopes could no longer do the job. Asynchronous logic designs with multiple pins gave rise to multipath race conditions.

In the proper context, asynchronous logic in SoC design today can provide benefits. But what about impact on design tools and flows? In the right situation, using asynchronous logic makes a lot of ...

Moore’s Law has been the driving force behind computer evolution for more than five decades, fueling the relentless innovation that led to more transistors being added to increasingly smaller ...

COMPUTING is similar to cookery. Programs, like recipes, are lists of instructions to be carried out. The raw materials are data which, like vegetables and other ingredients, must be sliced and diced ...
