For a useful primer on circuit design, see Optimize your DSPs for power and performance. To learn how power and performance vary with voltage and temperature, see Push performance and power beyond the ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Computers and water typically don't mix, but in Manu Prakash's lab, the two are one and the same. Prakash, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford, and his students have ...

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 ...
