Reset Domain Crossing (RDC) Challenges

Reset Domain Crossing (RDC) Challenges
by Daniel Payne on 12-18-2024 at 10:00 am

Origin of reset trees

In the early days an IC had a single clock and a single reset signal, making it a simple matter to reset the chip into a known, stable state, so there was little need for detailed analysis. For modern designs there can be dozens to hundreds of clocks, creating separate domains and some use of asynchronous resets, so the challenge of ensuring… Read More
