Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded systems, providing timing references and synchronization between components, subsystems, and entire systems. Incorrect clock signal amplitudes and timing can ...

The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

Timing relationships between signals are critical to reliable operation of digital designs. With synchronous designs, the timing of the clock signal relative to data signals is especially important.

High performance clock buffers – those without phase-locked loops (PLLs) – are often used in communications designs for duplication, distribution and fanout of clock signals. Sensitivity to long-term ...

The advantage of a radio-controlled clock that receives the time signal from WWVB is that you never have to set it again. Whether it’s a little digital job on your desk, or some big analog wall clock ...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of embedded systems, the demand for precise, efficient and real-time control applications continues to surge. Microcontrollers (MCUs) continue to be a critical ...

For example, if the positive-going edges of a clock signal are used as the timing reference for a digital circuit, then any deviation of the actual clock edges from their ideal positions constitutes ...
