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.

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 ...

LONDON — Startup company Achronix Semiconductor LLC said Tuesday (Sept. 20) it had produced a prototype of a line of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) that can operate at clock frequencies in ...

Synchronous interfaces involve a single clock domain and are relatively easy to design. However, at times, it is advantageous and necessary to have an asynchronous interface between peripherals for ...

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 ...

The future of asynchronous logic design is looking a little bit brighter. As the semiconductor industry struggles with mounting problems trying to achieve significant yields, higher performances and ...
