Multiple, independent clocks are ubiquitous in system-on-chip (SoC) design. Most SoC devices have multiple interfaces, some following standards that use very different clock frequencies. Many modern ...

Yesterday’s SoCs are today’s blocks and sub-chips. The resultant combination of interfaces, protocols and performance objectives regularly results in many clock domains on a single chip. Often, this ...

The AK8160BV is a member of AKM’s low power and low jitter clock generator family designed for PCI Express generation 2.0. This device has one PLL with spread spectrum (SS) function and is enable to ...

Atomic clocks. They almost sound like something out of science fiction, or an experiment confined to some elite physics lab, but in reality, they’ve been around since the 1950s in one form or another.

In the realm of safety-critical electronic hardware, particularly those governed by DO-254 compliance directives, ensuring design integrity is paramount. One of the most insidious challenges designers ...

This project is so pretty in its own right, it doesn’t need a case! Clocks are a recurring feature among the projects we feature here on Hackaday, with several common themes emerging among them. We ...
