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 ...

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.

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 ...

Often, hybrid microservices architecture is overlooked when comparing synchronous and asynchronous communication, but it's an important model to know. Here's how these microservices architectures work ...

Since the pandemic began, organizations have struggled to convert remote operations to a more sustainable model. A major contributing factor comes from a deep reliance on real-time, synchronous ...

The image used in this post is of a small group of students sitting in a room together, (seemingly) energetically talking about the issues at hand. This is an example of synchronous discussion—the ...
