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 ...

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 ...

Digital Core Design, the Poland-based IP core design house, has developed the DSPI_FIFO, a fully configurable SPI master/slave device, which allows the SoC designer to configure polarity and phase of ...

This new lineup introduces high-performance timing solutions designed to meet the demands of complex and high-speed computing and communications systems. With the launch of the new MS11X0 oscillator ...

Jitter can seriously degrade system operation but, as Lee Morgan explains, characterising and troubleshooting jitter on embedded systems has become a lot easier. Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded ...

NEC Corporation (NEC) and NEC Electronics Corporation (NEC Electronics) today announced the development and verification of technology that achieves the world's most accurate on-chip measurement of ...

Smaller than conventional devices, made of three small chips plus electronics and optics, new clock is based on semiconductor laser and frequency combs. Coffee time: The heart of NIST’s ...
