All chip designers know that they must take special care to avoid metastability problems when they have multiple, asynchronous clock domains. In contrast, a design in which all clocks are synchronous ...

Designing with synchronous clocks avoids metastability issues on clock domain crossings, but it presents its own challenges when multi-cycle and false paths are involved. A multi-cycle path (MCP) ...

The current state of engineers working in analog signal-path engineering. Who they are, their ages, experience, and their time in the practice. Signal-path design refers to the process of designing ...
