Building a 4-Bit Computer: Mitigating Metastability (Part 1)

The fact that the designers of microcontrollers are so good at handling metastability explains why so few end users are aware of any potential problems As an aside, I was chatting with my ...

Bit-Brick Cluster K1 lets you build a 32-core RISC-V computer (by clustering 4 SpacemiT K1 boards)

At least that’s the idea behind the Bit-Brick Cluster K1. Real-world performance will obviously vary depending on the task. But for applications that support parallel processing, this cluster board ...

Building a 4-Bit Computer: Mitigating Metastability (Part 2)

Here are some of the main reasons why metastability may occur in our designs and some of the ways in which we can mitigate its effects In my previous column, we introduced the concept of setup and ...
