3.2.2. Debug RDC Example—Asynchronous Reset Is Not Synchronized
This RDC Example demonstrates how to use Design Assistant to identify improper synchronization of the reset signal, and how to resolve this issue by implementing reset synchronizers.
RDC Example Description
In this RDC Example, the asynchronous reset signal is driven by the asyncrst port that is received from an external source unrelated in phase with the clock domain clk1. This unsynchronized reset signal feeds register reg_clk1 and the my_counter module.
Figure 248. RDC Example - Asynchronous Reset (Incorrect Topology)
RDC Example Debug Overview
The RDC Example is incorrect topology because the reset signal must be synchronized with the destination register. The following topic uses the RDC Example to describe how you can identify and resolve similar RDC issues by analyzing the RES-50001 Asynchronous Reset Is Not Synchronized rule violation that Design Assistant reports, and then implementing reset synchronizers to resolve the violations.
