Clock path has always been one of the most critical as well as complex components of timing analysis in synchronous design. With increasing complexities in both functionality as well as test ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...
