Digital integrated circuits typically use asynchronous set/resets to set the value of memory elements (flip-flops) without depending on any clock pulses. This logic, however, requires special handling ...

Reset is an important mechanism to bring a digital system into a known state. The need for reset is governed by the system design and application, and various data and control paths are designed to ...

Reset architectures are notoriously complex and difficult to verify. Today’s SoCs contain highly complex reset distributions and synchronization circuitry. Often, reset trees can be larger than clock ...
