Prof. Liang Haojun from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a new method to escape from metastability for self-assembly in a ...

Metastability is a phenomenon that can cause system failure in digital devices such as FPGAs, when a signal is transferred between circuitry in asynchronous clock domains. This article describes ...

Metastability is not just a social disease. It could hamper your software's ability to read good data from hardware. Last month I discussed the general problem of making software that reads ...

There is an important difference between knowing something, and being able to prove something. Even in science, there are ideas that everyone shares, but no one can prove. The link between disorder ...

The phenomenon of metastability -- when a system is in a state that is stable but not the one of least energy -- is widely observed in nature and technology. Yet, many aspects underlying the ...

Perhaps the last time you overdrank, your intention was to just go out and have a couple of drinks with a friend. Instead, you wound up staying out until 2 a.m., having more shots than you can ...

No discussion on FPGA design is complete without addressing the issues associated with transferring signals that are not synchronized to the clock into clocked logic. While this should be a digital ...
