    FPGA Clocking Fundamentals: Synchronous Design and the Importance of Determinism

    In the software world, we are taught that faster is always better. When you go out to buy a processor for your laptop, you look at the specs: 3.2GHz, 4.5GHz, or perhaps a overclocked monster hitting 5GHz. In that world, the clock frequency is the primary metric of “power.” But then you enter the world…
