Metastability (114 words) |
 | Metastability is the ability of a non-equilibrium state to persist for a long period of time. |
| Usually metastability is due to a relatively slow phase transformation. |
| For example at room temperature diamonds are metastable because the phase transformation to the stable graphite form is extremely slow. |
| Metastability in electronics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (754 words) |
| Metastability in electronics is the ability of a non-equilibrium electronic state to persist for a long (and theoretically unboundable) period of time (see asynchronous circuit). |
| Metastability is a distinct issue, different from this electrical noise issue, although they are sometimes confused, as they both involve flip flops loading erroneous values. |
| Metastability remains poorly understood in some circles, and various engineers have proposed their own "pet circuits" said to "solve" or "filter out" the metastability. |
