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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Many of today’s switching power supplies implement synchronous rectifiers to improve efficiency. In isolated topologies, the power-supply controller typically is located on the primary side of the ...

In an era when power has become a fundamental design constraint, questions persist about whether asynchronous logic has a role to play. It is a design style said to have significant benefits and yet ...

An asynchronous DSP offers better power, performance, and reliability than one based on standard synchronous logic. It also enables simpler and less expensive PCB and power supplies. Until today, the ...
