  2. Race condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition

    When the input value A changes from low to high, the circuit outputs a short spike of duration (∆t 1 + ∆t 2) − ∆t 2 = ∆t 1. A race condition or race hazard is the condition of an electronics , software , or other system where the system's substantive behavior is dependent on the sequence or timing of other uncontrollable events ...

  3. Asynchronous circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_circuit

    Asynchronous circuits and theory surrounding is a part of several steps in integrated circuit design, a field of digital electronics engineering. Asynchronous circuits are contrasted with synchronous circuits, in which changes to the signal values in the circuit are triggered by repetitive pulses called a clock signal.

  4. FIFO (computing and electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFO_(computing_and...

    In computing and in systems theory, first in, first out (the first in is the first out), acronymized as FIFO, is a method for organizing the manipulation of a data structure (often, specifically a data buffer) where the oldest (first) entry, or "head" of the queue, is processed first. Such processing is analogous to servicing people in a queue ...

  5. Finite-state machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine

    A finite-state machine (FSM) or finite-state automaton (FSA, plural: automata), finite automaton, or simply a state machine, is a mathematical model of computation. It is an abstract machine that can be in exactly one of a finite number of states at any given time. The FSM can change from one state to another in response to some inputs; the ...

  6. Hopfield network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopfield_network

    Hopfield network. A Hopfield network (associative memory or Ising–Lenz–Little model or Nakano-Amari-Hopfield network) is a spin glass system used to model neural networks, based on Ernst Ising 's work with Wilhelm Lenz on the Ising model of magnetic materials. [1]

  7. Phase detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_detector

    Phase frequency detector. A phase frequency detector (PFD) is an asynchronous circuit originally made of four flip-flops (i.e., the phase-frequency detectors found in both the RCA CD4046 and the motorola MC4344 ICs introduced in the 1970s). The logic determines which of the two signals has a zero-crossing earlier or more often.

  8. Metastability (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metastability_(electronics)

    In electronics, metastability is the ability of a digital electronic system to persist for an unbounded time in an unstable equilibrium or metastable state. [1] In digital logic circuits, a digital signal is required to be within certain voltage or current limits to represent a '0' or '1' logic level for correct circuit operation; if the signal ...

  9. Linear-feedback shift register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-feedback_shift_register

    In computing, a linear-feedback shift register (LFSR) is a shift register whose input bit is a linear function of its previous state. The most commonly used linear function of single bits is exclusive-or (XOR). Thus, an LFSR is most often a shift register whose input bit is driven by the XOR of some bits of the overall shift register value.
