Timing diagram (Unified Modeling Language) — Timing diagrams (UML 2.0) are a specific type of interaction diagram, where the focus is on timing constraints.Timing diagrams are used to explore the behaviors of objects throughout a given period of time. A timing diagram is a special form of a … Wikipedia
Physical timing closure — is the process by which an FPGA or a VLSI design with a physical representation is modified to meet its timing requirements. Most of the modifications are handled by EDA tools based on directives given by a designer. The term is also sometimes… … Wikipedia
Real time database — A real time database is a processing system designed to handle workloads whose state is constantly changing (Buchmann). This differs from traditional databases containing persistent data, mostly unaffected by time. For example, a stock market… … Wikipedia
Asynchronous systems — In a synchronous system, operations are coordinated under the centralized control of a fixed rate clock signal or several clocks. An asynchronous digital system, in contrast, has no global clock: instead, it operates under distributed control,… … Wikipedia
High-level synthesis — (HLS), sometimes referred to as C synthesis, electronic system level (ESL) synthesis, algorithmic synthesis, or behavioral synthesis, is an automated design process that interprets an algorithmic description of a desired behavior and creates… … Wikipedia

Altos Design Automation — OverviewAltos Design Automation, Inc. provides ultra fast, fully automated, characterization technology for the creation of library views for timing, signal integrity and power analysis and optimization. Altos’ advanced modeling solutions are… … Wikipedia
Flip-flop (electronics) — An SR latch, constructed from a pair of cross coupled NOR gates. Red and black mean logical 1 and 0 , respectively. In electronics, a flip flop or latch is a circuit that has two stable states and can be used to store state information. The… … Wikipedia

Clock distribution network — In a synchronous digital system, the clock signal is used to define a time reference for the movement of data within that system. The clock distribution network (or clock tree, when this network forms a tree) distributes the clock signal(s) from… … Wikipedia
Distance-bounding protocol — Distance bounding protocols are cryptographic protocols that enable a verifier V to establish an upper bound on the physical distance to a prover P. They are based on timing the delay between sending out a challenge bits and receiving back the… … Wikipedia
