DFF with Synchronous Active-Low Reset

EasyLogic CircuitBuild

Synchronous reset networks ensure that reset assertions and de-assertions are fully timed, preventing metastability across clock domains. An active-low synchronous reset forces the flip-flop state to zero strictly on the next positive clock edge, ignoring mid-cycle toggles.

| clk | RST_bar | D | Q (next) | |-------|-----------|-----|------------| | ↑ | 0 | X | 0 | | ↑ | 1 | 0 | 0 | | ↑ | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 0/1 | X | X | Q (prev) |

Constraints

  • Use a standard D flip-flop and combinational logic gates.
  • Do not connect RST_bar to any asynchronous clear or preset ports on the flip-flop.
  • Reset logic must be implemented exclusively in the data input path.
