Question 1

What is the purpose of Clock Domain Crossing (CDC)?

  • To enhance power consumption
  • To manage data transfer across different clock frequencies
  • To increase chip area

💡 Hint: Think about how signals cross over from one clock domain to another.

Question 2

True or False: PLLs can be used to generate clocks that maintain the timing coherence between different circuit components.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the role of PLLs in synchronization.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given an SoC with varying digital and analog components, design the clock management system. Discuss how to handle clock domain crossing and the implementation of PLLs and clock trees.

💡 Hint: Think about the types of IPs and their clock requirements.

Question 2

Analyze a case where a high-frequency digital IP and low-speed analog device are integrated into an SoC, and the observed performance issues due to clock misalignment.

💡 Hint: Consider both frequency needs and synchronization.
