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 ...

In theory, synchronous clock multiplication is an easy task. A simple PLL with two digital dividers—one inserted just after the VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) and the second one placed directly ...

Traditional simulations lack an understanding of clocking requirements and cannot handle the complete clock network of a ...

PLL circuits that produce strobe signals synchronized to jittery data overcome the effects of jitter. Sophisticated techniques quantify the performance of these circuits and let you predict how well ...

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 ...

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 ...
