Purpose of occ controllers. What scan enable signals( pipelined or nonpiplelined) will go to my occ controller, clock chain and why. Lock up latch purpose. If I have 5 negative edge triggered flops and 5 positive edge triggered flops how will I arrange them. How can we solve neg edge flop followed by pos edge flops race condition ( lock up latch plus adding buffers in the data path).

Accepted Answer

Explanation of purpose of occ controllers, scan enable signals, lock up latch and arrangement of negative and positive edge triggered flops.

The purpose of occ controllers is to manage the clock signals in a design and ensure proper timing.
Scan enable signals are used for testing and debugging purposes.
Pipelined signals are used for faster data transfer while non-pipelined signals are used for simpler designs.
Lock up latch is used to prevent race conditions between negative and positive edge triggered flops.
Arrangement of flops depends on the design requirements and timing constraints.
Adding buffers in the data path can help solve race conditions.
Neg edge flop followed by pos edge flops race condition can be solved by adding a lock up latch.
