Epic fail: "Not fancy SPICE simulations." Note there are many situations where you force the result (if you call hysteresis a biased scheme) simply because to do otherwise is a more serious problem.

The maturity of this topic is now such that papers making contrary claims without theoretical or experimental support should not be accepted for publication." Philip Freidin 8/27/2003: "Nothing improves the MTBF of a metastable synchronizer better than just waiting longer. Not clocking the intermediate signal on the negative clock edge. Not voting. Not threshold testing. Not adding noise. Not fancy SPICE simulations. Not predicting circuits. Not circuits designed to bias the outcome to either 1 or 0. Not clocking it twice as fast through twice as many flip flops. Nothing." _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
