To many engineers, clock selection involves nothing more than identifying a clock that will generate the necessary frequency or frequencies/output format, including it in the design, and moving on.

Signal integrity is one of the many challenges faced by chip designers. Deep submicron technologies are unfriendly hosts for the nice, clean signals desired. The culprits that compromise signal ...

Case study: Latest advances in programmable clock generators lay the foundation for successful high-performance datacenter networking solution. This application example includes IDT’s VersaClock 5 ...

A technical paper titled “A Novel Clock Gating Approach for the Design of Low-Power Linear Feedback Shift Registers” was published by researchers at Università degli Studi di Catania, Italy. “This ...

Keeping track of time seems simple. A watch ticks, a pendulum swings, and a calendar flips. But at the quantum level, marking time is far more complicated — and far more expensive than anyone expected ...

The importance of timing requirements and jitter budgets for FPGAs, ASICs, and SoCs. How to utilize the information portrayed in a clock tree to choose the most well-suited clock generator for your ...

Physicists have demonstrated a compact atomic clock design that relies on cold rubidium atoms instead of the usual hot atoms, a switch that promises improved precision and stability. Physicists at the ...
