Accellera at DVCon US 2024
Abstract:
As complexity and the number of clock domains increase in today’s ASIC designs, we are moving towards a hierarchical verification approach. This tutorial covers the proven clock domain crossings (CDC) and Reset Domain Crossing (RDC) schemes, the verification challenges, and the potential… Read More

Various IP blocks within an SoC are often required to work in different clock domains in order to satisfy the power constraints. Clock domain crossing (CDC) challenges faced by design engineers include:
– Speed and power requirements lead to designs with multiple… Read More
SoC designs frequently have lots of different clock domains to help manage power more efficiently, however one side effect is that when the clock domains meet, i.e., in a Clock Domain Crossing (CDC), there’s the possibility of setup and hold time violations that can cause a flip-flop to become metastable. Synchronizer … Read More
I’m a fan of DVCon, a fan of Accellera and a fan of Munich, hosting DVCon Europe once again. This year’s event runs from November 14th through 15th (with some events on the 16th) at the Holiday Inn Munich in the City Center. Phillippe Notton (CEO, SiPearl) will deliver a keynote on “Energy Efficient High-Performance Computing in the… Read More
Accellera sponsored a luncheon panel discussion at #60DAC, so I registered and attended to learn more about one of the newest working groups for Clock Domain Crossing (CDC). An overview of Accellera was provided by Lu Dai, then the panel discussion was moderated by Paul McLellan of Cadence, with the following panel members:

As designs get increasingly complex, design teams are looking to find bugs earlier, to reduce rework and shorten time-to-market. The ultimate “shift left” is to put easy-to-use static verification in the hands of RTL designers to eliminate bugs at their source.
This webinar covers comprehensive static verification capabilities… Read More

Over the last few decades System on Chip (SoC) design size has dramatically increased, and more complexity has been introduced to deliver the desired functionality. Growing design sizes lead to the introduction of several asynchronous clocks which can result in the

Synopsys Webinar | Thursday, June 23, 2022 | 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. Pacific
Today’s million gates integrated circuits (ICs) involve various intellectual properties (IPs) interfacing with each other through multiple asynchronous clock and reset domains. Ensuring all clocks propagate concurrently across each clock tree

Abstract:
Designing FPGAs that use a single clock domain is a luxury that very few of us have. Modern FPGA designs must cope with multiple clocks running at different frequencies, very often asynchronous to each other, and still be expected to work reliably.
Xilinx Parameterized Macros (XPM) can be used to implement CDC, FIFO and

Manish Pandey, VP R&D and Fellow at Synopsys, gave the keynote this year. His thesis is that given the relentless growth of system complexity, now amplified by multi-chiplet systems, we must move the verification efficiency needle significantly. In this world we need more than incremental advances in performance. We need… Read More
