One of the significant challenges to RTL designers is to identify complete timing exceptions upfront. This becomes an iterative process in complicated designs where additional timing exceptions are ...

In the intricate realm of VLSI design, the concept of "false paths" plays a strategic role in optimizing the timing analysis process. A false path represents a logical connection within the circuit ...

Reset domain crossing (RDC) issues can occur in sequential designs when the reset of a source register differs from the reset of a destination register, even if the data path is in the same clock ...

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) ...
