Occasionally you might need a simple clock module for various projects. A small CMOS clock module, such as the one presented here, is not capable of offering as much precision as a clock module built ...

Races, missed next-state values due to long paths, and metastability can result from corrupted clock signals. This post describes the challenges of clock network and clock jitter analysis in more ...

High performance clock buffers – those without phase-locked loops (PLLs) – are often used in communications designs for duplication, distribution and fanout of clock signals. Sensitivity to long-term ...

The importance of timing requirements and jitter budgets for FPGAs, ASICs, and SoCs. How to utilize the information portrayed in a clock tree to choose the most well-suited clock generator for your ...

Clock signals provide reference timing to every integrated circuit and electrical system. Consumer applications typically use simple quartz crystals for reference clock generation. Other applications, ...

This paper presents a low power Clock Gating scheme for clock power improvement that reduces power dissipation by deactivating the clock signal to an inactive value (for clock gating cell) when clock ...

At a logical level, synchronous designs are very simple and the clock just happens. But the clocking network is possibly the most complex in a chip, and it’s fraught with the most problems at the ...
