Objectives

  • Diagnose the three fundamental hazards of Clock Domain Crossing: Metastability, Data Incoherence, and Data Loss.
  • Design and implement standard synchronization solutions: Bit Synchronizers, Bus Synchronizers, and Reset Synchronizers.
  • Architect and analyze Asynchronous FIFOs, the standard solution for safe, high-throughput data transfer between clock domains.
  • Perform the critical engineering task of calculating the required depth of an FIFO for a given data rate and burst profile.
  • Write industry-standard Verilog RTL for synchronization structures and verify their functionality.


Pre Requisites

  1. Foundational Knowledge of Digital Logic: Understanding of flip-flops, registers, and binary data.
  2. Intermediate Verilog HDL: Ability to write and understand synthesizable Verilog code (modules, always blocks, assignments). Completion of an introductory Verilog course is highly recommended.
  3. Simulation Basics: Familiarity with running a simple testbench or simulation is helpful but not mandatory; core implementation is emphasized.


FAQ

  • Q. How long do I have access to the course materials?
    • A. You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
  • Q. Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
    • A. Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
