Asynchronous, or clockless, logic–an alternative to standard digital circuits that avoids many of their problems–is beginning to look attractive for embedded designs in consumer electronics and mobile ...

There are a number of interesting technologies to keep an eye on in term of how and when they could be adopted for use in SoC design today, some of which include gallium arsenide, GPGPUs, 3D ICs and ...

Leah Zitter is a technical writer who covers high tech. She holds a Ph.D. in psychology research and a master’s in philosophy and advanced logic. Eleven years ago, researchers warned in the journal ...

I know you’ve heard of both synchronous and asynchronous communications. But do you really know the differences between the two? Serial communication was used long before computers existed. A ...

Asynchronous processors, which function without a global clock, have emerged as a compelling alternative to traditional synchronous architectures. Their design relies on handshake protocols and local ...
