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 ...

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) ...
