Elimination Of Functional False Path During RDC Analysis

By Farhad Ahmed - 12 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Reset domain crossing (RDC) issues can occur in sequential designs when the reset of a source register differs from the reset of a destination register, even if the data path is in the same clock domain. This can lead to asynchronous crossing paths and metastability at the destination register. RDC analysis on RTL designs is done to find such metastability issues in a design, which may occur du... » read more
