A common challenge facing many semiconductor companies is the push for higher data transmission speeds to drive ever higher system performance. When dealing with clock circuitry in processor and bus ...

Clock speed is equivalent to data movement in applications that receive and process hundreds of megabytes of data each second. Applications involved in moving enormous volumes of data include cellular ...

Occasionally you might need a simple clock module for various projects. A small CMOS clock module, such as the one presented here, is not capable of offering as much precision as a clock module built ...

OK, here's a little electronics mystery. I have an old (2000s) wall clock in my bedroom that I had to take apart just now because a battery leaked in it (dang Duracells....). The clock takes two AA ...

Electronic components are strictly functional objects: their appearance is determined by the function they’re meant to fulfil. But that doesn’t mean there’s no beauty in them. In fact, a whole ...

There are significantly different architectures for what are known as “atomic” clocks. Optically driven atomic clocks offer a new set of performance attributes. The optical atomic clocks use paired ...
