CDC Metastability
CDC bugs result from a combination of poor implementation,
clock timing, and analog-like behavior in digital logic. For
example, if a signal crossing from one domain to another
relatively asynchronous domain arrives too close to the
receiving clock edge, the captured value is nondeterministic
and leads to signal metastability.
The resulting errors are nearly impossible to detect and
diagnose via simulation or in the lab, and cause frequent
failures in the field that are expensive to fix. Unsafe
