As far as I know, it is impossible to absolutely guarantee against metastability. Do you wait a week for the metastability to settle? If zero probability of failure is so important, you would also have to include the probability of a solder joint opening, or a chip failing due to metal migration or latent ESD damage. That is never zero. Of course, after the system is perfect, someone will take it and put it on a destroyer running Windows:) Best Regards, Mike Monett _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
