Let's Program the Transistors
Welcome back to our Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) series! In our first post, we introduced the critical challenges of CDC in digital designs. In this article, we focus on one of the most fundamental and effective techniques to tackle metastability, a core issue in CDC: the two-stage flip-flop synchronizer. Understanding metastability and how this simple synchronizer design…
In today’s complex digital systems, multiple clock domains are the norm rather than the exception. Whether you’re designing an FPGA, ASIC, or SoC, it’s almost guaranteed that different parts of your chip will operate on different clocks. This creates a critical design challenge known as Clock Domain Crossing (CDC). In this first post of our CDC…

In digital design, the reset signal is one of the most fundamental control signals. It ensures that your digital circuits start in a known, stable state before normal operation begins. Whether you’re designing a simple flip-flop or a complex processor, understanding resets is crucial for reliable and predictable behavior. In this post, we’ll explore: Why Do We…
