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.

In FPGA design, where timing is everything, there are tips and tricks to help designers set up clocks, correctly set timing constraints and then tune parameters of the FPGA, write Angela Sutton and ...

Silicon Labs' new online timing utility, the Clock Tree Expert tool, was designed to enable embedded developers to generate sophisticated, streamlined clock tree block diagrams within minutes, ...

TI's Dafydd Roche completes his 4-part series on sound-bar design with a detailed explanation of clock design for the digital portion of the circuit. Clocks typically are the last thing we consider in ...

For years, physicists have been trying to design clocks that can measure tiny durations of time with extreme precision. Quantum clocks, in particular, have pushed the boundaries by using the strange ...

Here’s an interesting concept for an alarm clock, the Smash Alarm Clock from designer Matthias Lange. When the alarm goes off in the morning, just smash the alarm clock with your fist and the alarm ...
