Chapter 11 Datapath Subsystems: Enhanced

This document discusses various topics related to sequential and datapath circuits, including state retention registers, level-converter flip-flops, sequencing dynamic circuits, synchronizers, wave pipelining, and addition/subtraction circuits like carry-propagate adders. Specific synchronizer topics covered are metastability, simple synchronizers, communicating between asynchronous clock domains, common synchronizer mistakes, arbiters, and degrees of synchrony.
