By now most SoC designers are pretty familiar and comfortable with the use of Network on Chip (NOC) IP for interconnecting functional blocks. Looking at the underlying change that NOCs represent, we see the use of IP to supplant the use of tools for implementing a critical part of the design. The idea that ‘smart’ things are better… Read More

Useful Skew in Production Flows
The concept of applying useful clock skew to the design of synchronous systems is not new. To date, the application of this design technique has been somewhat limited, as the related methodologies have been rather ad hoc, to be discussed shortly. More recently, the ability to leverage useful skew has seen a major improvement,… Read More
