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 ...

Jitter measurements are among the most important ways of evaluating the performance of serial digital data links as well as clocks. The oscilloscope is by far the instrument most commonly used for ...

As Albert Einstein predicted in his theory of general relativity, the gravitational field of a massive object distorts space-time, which causes time to move more slowly as one gets closer to the ...

The Freescale HC08 and newer HCS08 microcontroller families have versatile peripheral modules. Their clock generators are no exceptions. They range from the internal clock, which frees I/O pins, to ...

The atomic clock comes in many varieties. Some are chip-sized electronics, developed for the military but available commercially now, while bigger and more accurate atomic clocks keep track of time on ...
