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 ...

To meet low-power and high-performance requirements, system on chip (SoC) designs are equipped with several asynchronous and soft reset signals. These reset signals help to safeguard software and ...

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.
