For a useful primer on circuit design, see Optimize your DSPs for power and performance. To learn how power and performance vary with voltage and temperature, see Push performance and power beyond the ...

At 0.18 micron and below, handling crosstalk becomes a significant design challenge. Historically safe and pervasive design techniques may now increase crosstalk, and must be reviewed for suitability.

Reset architectures are notoriously complex and difficult to verify. Today’s SoCs contain highly complex reset distributions and synchronization circuitry. Often, reset trees can be larger than clock ...

Modern automotive SoCs typically contain multiple asynchronous reset signals to ensure systematic functional recovery from unexpected situations and faults. This complex reset architecture leads to a ...
