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) ...
Santa Cruz, Calif. – Claiming to eliminate a tedious manual process, Averant Inc. has introduced an automatic verification tool for false and multicycle paths. Averant's SolidTC appears to complement ...
