No discussion on FPGA design is complete without addressing the issues associated with transferring signals that are not synchronized to the clock into clocked logic. While this should be a digital ...

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.

If left to run for some 14 billion years — roughly the current age of the universe — a new type of atomic clock could keep accurate time to within a tenth of a second. The design by US experts makes ...

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...

To avoid being overwhelmed by the myriad options when shopping for a clock, consider their key features to find the best wall ...

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 ...

High-performance computing (HPC) applications require IC designs with maximum performance. However, as process technology advances, achieving high performance has become increasingly challenging.

As people fume over Apple's map update to iOS 6, the purveyor of iProducts finds itself in increasingly hot water, and now stands accused of copying the iconic (and trademarked) clocks of the Swiss ...

It was supposed to be an iconic landmark that would lure people to the new Amtrak station being built in Tacoma. Instead, plans for a clock tower at Freighthouse Square are falling flat before ...
