  2. Comparison of synchronous and asynchronous signalling

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_synchronous...

    The most common asynchronous signalling, asynchronous start-stop signalling, uses a near-constant 'bit' timing (+/- 5% local oscillator required at both ends of the connection [2]). Using this method, the receiver detects the 'first' edge transition... (the START bit), waits 'half a bit duration' and then reads the value of the signal.

  3. Asynchronous circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_circuit

    Synchronous designs are inherently easier to test and debug than asynchronous designs. [33] However, this position is disputed by Fant, who claims that the apparent simplicity of synchronous logic is an artifact of the mathematical models used by the common design approaches.

  4. Asynchronous I/O - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_I/O

    But such an approach, called synchronous I/O or blocking I/O, would block the progress of a program while the communication is in progress, leaving system resources idle. When a program makes many I/O operations (such as a program mainly or largely dependent on user input ), this means that the processor can spend almost all of its time idle ...

  5. Asynchronous communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_communication

    An asynchronous communication service or application does not require a constant bit rate. [2] Examples are file transfer , email and the World Wide Web . An example of the opposite, a synchronous communication service, is realtime streaming media , for example IP telephony , IPTV and video conferencing .

  6. Globally asynchronous locally synchronous - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globally_asynchronous...

    Another solution is to use a GALS design style, i.e. design (locally) is synchronous (thus easier to be designed than asynchronous circuit) but globally asynchronous, i.e. there are different (e.g. phase shifted, rising and falling active edge) clock signal regimes thus supply current spikes do not aggregate at the same time.

  7. Clock domain crossing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_domain_crossing

    In digital electronic design a clock domain crossing (CDC), or simply clock crossing, is the traversal of a signal in a synchronous digital circuit from one clock domain into another. If a signal does not assert long enough and is not registered, it may appear asynchronous on the incoming clock boundary. [1]

  8. Synchronization in telecommunications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization_in...

    Ideally, clocks in a telecommunications network are synchronous, controlled to run at identical rates, or at the same mean rate with a fixed relative phase displacement, within a specified limited range. However, they may be mesochronous in practice. In common usage, mesochronous networks are often described as synchronous.

  9. Asynchronous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_system

    The primary focus of this article is asynchronous control in digital electronic systems. [1] [2] In a synchronous system, operations (instructions, calculations, logic, etc.) are coordinated by one, or more, centralized clock signals. An asynchronous system, in contrast, has no global clock. Asynchronous systems do not depend on strict arrival ...
