| Abstract(in English) | This study describes a formula for performance evaluation of synchronizers constructed with cascaded CMOS D flip-flop (DFF)s. First, it is shown that 5 parameters (clock pulse period, clock pulse duty ratio, a number of DFFs, characteristics of DFF and incidence of input changes) are classified into 3 groups (clock pulse period and a number of DFFs, clock pulse duty ratio and characteristics of DFF, incidence of input changes) which have independent effects upon the reliability of the synchronizer. Second, the formula is derived by the use of quantitative evaluation results of each groups effects on the reliability. And then the formula is examined for its validity. According to this results, by the use of the formula, the reliability of the synchronizer can be evaluated with almost 7% errors against the results obtained by the use of an existing evaluation method. |
