Abstract: Recent advances in CSA design have targeted speed enhancement and power reduction. Current models are plagued by heavy area overhead and power loss owing to dual RCAs. We introduce a new CSA ...

[Michael Gardi] wrote in to let us know about his project: CPS-1: Imagining An Early 70s 4-bit Microcomputer. The CPS-1 was the first Canadian microprocessor-based computer. It was built by ...

If the quantum concept is still difficult to understand and divides passionate opinions between skeptics and futurists, imagine how much the term 'quantum computing' can confuse and even scare ...

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 ...

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 ...
