However, if a reset is used on these registers (synchronous reset or asynchronous reset), the synthesizer is prevented from using the logic resources this way. This is because neither shift registers nor RAMs have a reset input that sets the values of the internal memory. So how are the ...
SNUG Boston 2003 Asynchronous & Synchronous Reset Rev 1.2 Design Techniques - Part Deux 5 Figure 1 - Bad coding style yields a design with an unnecessary loadable flip-flop The correct way to model a follower flip-flop is with two Verilog procedural blocks as shown in Example 2a or two VHDL...
The automation of the generation of asynchronous design templates and also the constraint generation is an important problem. Algorithms for automation of reset addition to asynchronous circuits and power and/or performance optimizations applied to the circuits using logical effort are explored thus ...
However, how to progressively stall a pipeline, other than asynchronous pipelines, one stage at a time as described herein, is novel. The present invention implements progressive stalling by delaying a stall indication of a stage with respect to the stall indication of a downstream stage. ...
