The Ten Commandments of Excellent Design Dowload from: http:// Peter Chambers Engineering Fellow VLSI Technology This report will give you some pointers that will help you design synchronous circuits that work first time. Ten commandments that should always be followed! Using Synchronous Circuits Synchronous digital systems are pervasive in today’s designs. Engineers create clocked circuits for every conceivable application, with frequencies from DC to GHz. Every synchronous system employs certain common characteristics, and is prone to a group of common faults. These faults can cause instability and unreliability, and may not be uncovered in the typical design process. The net result is a poor product that fails to meet the design criteria, and the engineer has to go through the suffering of design modification and revision. This is time- consuming and costly. However, by applying a few simple rules, you can avoid synchronous design faults in your designs and achieve consistent first-pass success. In this article you’ll learn the sources of the most common problems and their solutions, and how to apply these ideas to your designs. © 1997, VLSI Technology 1 Digital Systems 101
