Asynchronous & Synchronous Reset Design Techniques – Part Deux by Clifford E. Cummings, Don Mills, and Steve Golson

Abstract: This paper will investigate the pros and cons of synchronous and asynchronous resets. It will then look at usage of each type of reset followed by recommendations for proper usage of each type.

I recommend you use synchronous resets as much as possible.
