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 ...
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) sampling rate is determined by a clock signal that controls how often a voltage snapshot is taken for each conversion. However, clock signal timing isn’t perfect, ...
A transportable ytterbium optical lattice clock has been commercially shipped, rapidly recommissioned, and tested against ...
Mixed-signal printed circuit boards (PCBs) present unique challenges in high-performance applications, such as vibration analysis and other multi-channel data acquisition systems. Nonlinear ...
Whether you are sitting at a computer, working on a tablet, talking or surfing on a cell phone, sending data over a network, performing digital signal analysis, or controlling an industrial robot, ...
Signal integrity is one of the many challenges faced by chip designers. Deep submicron technologies are unfriendly hosts for the nice, clean signals desired. The culprits that compromise signal ...
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 ...
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 ...
