Book 2015, Top-Down Digital VLSI Design Chapter Case Study 10.3.1 Timing Characteristics of Synchronous Circuits In synchronous circuits, the clock signal provides a common time reference for all of the sequential elements, orchestrating the flow of the data signals within a circuit [312]. A numb...
particularly in light of the development of more advanced integrated circuit processes. Several such processes have recently been described in the literature, including: Downing, P., et al., "Denser Process Gets the Most Out of Bipolar VLSI," Electronics, pp. 131-133, Jun. 28, 1984; "A Bi...
PIPELINE DOUBLE-STAGE: In many modem VLSI designs, the storage nodes in two adjacent split latch stages are merged and together are considered to be a stage. This is frequently done in pipelines based on, for example, the following latch types: a master/slave latch or D-flip/flop, or a...
Note that with my collection of supplies, budget, and skills, I've decided to use a VS1033D decoder IC from VLSI Solutions, which integrates music file decoding and digital-to-analog output. So the item "sound output" in the above list expands into "decoder" and "speaker" I will be u...
In Top-Down Digital VLSI Design, 2015 7.2 How much skew and jitter does a circuit tolerate? 7.2.1 Basics Numerous schemes for driving synchronous digital circuits have been devised over the years. Some of them are more vulnerable to clock skew and jitter than others, each asks for different...
The third step is to define the clock exceptions with ‘set_clock_tree_exceptions’ command. It is important to set clock exceptions correctly as they will impact the clock tree synthesis result. Use ddr_phy_clk clock in the pll2_clk clock domain as an example, according to previous analysi...
