Asynchronous, or clockless, logic–an alternative to standard digital circuits that avoids many of their problems–is beginning to look attractive for embedded designs in consumer electronics and mobile ...

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 ...

The most prevalent form of design is synchronous design. This relies on a clock to latch in the results of the previous set of computations ready for the next step. This design paradigm helps to ...

I know you’ve heard of both synchronous and asynchronous communications. But do you really know the differences between the two? Serial communication was used long before computers existed. A ...

Asynchronous processors, which function without a global clock, have emerged as a compelling alternative to traditional synchronous architectures. Their design relies on handshake protocols and local ...
