  7. The “WHY” slide • Timing issues • For sequential logic, “timing” is critical because for the same inputs, the output could be different at different times (like T-flip flops). In order to achieve desired outputs, timing has to be taken into consideration. • Transistors, chips, and even wires have their own delays. Because of this, nothing could ever be perfectly synchronized. It is important to understand how fast a clock can tick based on these delays and what the common issues are in making computers to run fast and accurately. • There are synchronous and asynchronous inputs. For example, typing on the keyboard, you are putting in asynchronous inputs to the computer. Asynchronous inputs can change the outputs immediately regardless of the clock state, and it is important to know how to handle that.

  8. D Q Q D Q Q CLK Latches versus flip-flops CLK D Qff Qlatch CLK behavior of latch is the same unless input changes while the clock is high For most applications, it is not good to see Input changes instantaneously at the output

  9. The master-slave D (polarity reversed from previous class) Master D latch Slave D latch Output Input D Q D Q CLK master-slave D flip-flop Because of the timing issue, it was good to use two latches as master-slave configuration or use one flip-flop.

  10. Master-Slave D implements D flip-flop D Q Q D Q Q CLK CLK D Qff Qlatch’ Qmasterslave CLK For most applications, it is not good to see Input changes instantaneously at the output

  11. D Q Q CLK Timing terminology and constraints for a FF • Setup time tsu: Amount of time the input must be stable before the clock transitions high (or low for negative-edge triggered FF) • Hold time th: Amount of time the input must be stable after the clock transitions high (or low for negative-edge triggered FF) • Clock width tw : Minimum clock width that must be met in order for FF to work properly • Propagation delays tp-lh and tp-hl: Propagation delay (high to low, low to high) (longer than hold time) tsu th th tsu D tw CLK Q tp-hl tp-lh

  12. In Q0 Q1 Clk tsu tsu tp-lh tp-hl th th Cascading flip-flops • Flip-flop propagation delays exceed hold times • Second stage commits its input before Q0 changes IN Q1 Q0 D Q D Q > > CLK Order can’t be reversed else Q1 will not have its required hold time tp-hl , tp-lh > th tp +tsu <tcycle

  13. Side note: Clock skew • Goal: Clock all flip-flops at the same time • Difficult to achieve in high-speed systems • Clock delays (wire, buffers) are comparable to logic delays • Problem is called clock skew • Avoiding clock skew: design identical delays IN Q0 Q1 CLK0 CLK1 CLK0 clocks first flipflop CLK1 clocks second flipflop CLK1 should align with CLK0, but is delayed due to clock skew Original state: IN = 0, Q0 = 1, Q1 = 1 Next state: Q0 = 0, Q1 = 0 (should be Q1 = 1)

  14. System considerations • Use edge-triggered flip-flops wherever possible • Avoid latches • Most common: Master-slave D • Basic rules for correct timing • Clock flip-flops synchronously (all at the same time) • No flip-flop changes state more than once per clock cycle • FF propagation delay > hold time • Avoid mixing positive-edge triggered and negative-edge triggered flip-flops in the same circuit

  15. CombinationalLogic CombinationalLogic Clock Asynchronous versus synchronous • Asynchronous • State changes occur when state inputs change • Feedback elements may be wires or delays • Synchronous • State changes occur synchronously • Feedback elements are clocked Asynchronous Synchronous

  16. Asynchronous inputs • Clocked circuits are synchronous • Circuit changes state only at clock edges • Signals (voltages) settle in-between clock edges • Unclocked circuits or signals are asynchronous • No master clock • Real-world inputs (e.g. a keypress) are asynchronous • Synchronous circuits have asynchronous inputs • Reset signal, memory wait, user input, etc. • Inputs “bounce” • Inputs can change at any time • We must synchronize the input to our clock • Inputs will violate flip-flop setup/hold times

  17. Debouncing • Switch inputs bounce • i. e. don’t make clean transitions • Can use RS latch for debouncing • Eliminates dynamic hazards • “Cleans-up” inputs 3.3V 0V 1 0 R Q 3.3V 1 0 S Q' 3.3V 0V

  18. Synchronizer failure • Occurs when FF input changes near clock edge • Input is neither 1 or 0 when clock goes high • Output may be neither 0 or 1 • May stay undefined for a long time • Undefined state is called metastability D CLK Q logic 0 logic 1

  19. Minimizing synchronizer failures • Failure probability can never be zero • Cascade two (or more) flip-flops • Effectively synchronizes twice • Both would have to fail for system to fail asynchronous input synchronized input D Q Q D Clk

  20. Handling asynchronous inputs • Never fan-out asynchronous inputs • Synchronize at circuit boundary • Fan-out synchronized signal Synchronizer Async Q0 Async Q0 D Q D Q D Q Input Input Clock Clock Q1 Q1 D Q D Q Clock Clock

  21. Summary: Timing issues with asynchronous inputs • For sequential logic circuits, timing issues have to be considered. • Inputs are often asynchronous and can cause problems. • Different amount of delay at different part of the circuit can cause problems also. • Solutions: • Cascade flip flops in series • Incorporate RS latch for debouncing • Design to keep timing alignment in mind (length of wires, etc)
