From Chaos to Clarity: CDC Methodologies for Success

Format: On-demand webinar (recorded from previous live event) 

​

Length: 60 Minutes

Modern FPGA designs contain multiple synchronous and asynchronous clock domains.

​

Transferring data between these clock domains comes with its own challenges, get it wrong and it can be many hours in the lab, or worse the

field trying to determine the root cause.

​

This webinar is aimed at enabling engineers to be able to understand the challenges which come with designing in a multi-clock environment, and provide the knowledge to be successful in that environment.

​

As such this webinar is going to address topics such as

​

1. How are clocks related - What makes a clock domain synchronous or asynchronous

2. What is Clock Domain Crossing - How can it impact out designs

3. CDC considerations - Is it just internal or do we need to consider IO as well

4. CDC Structures - Synchronisers, FIFO, Pulse, XPM and Open Source Libraries e.g. Open Logic

5. Special Types of CDC - Reset Domain Crossing / Synchronous CDC

6. Methods to find CDC in our Design - Why using STA and simulation is challenging.

7. Informing our selected design tool about clock relationships - constraints.

8. Finding CDC in designs using Blue Pearl Visual Verification Suite.

This webinar is intended to provide the attendee with a good introduction to CDC, along with understanding of the approaches and mitigation to take during design and implementation to make their design successful.

​

Webinar is presented in association with Blue Pearl Software and will include demonstrations of the Visual Verification Suite.
