At the heart of all computers is a clock, a dedicated timepiece ensuring that all of the parts of the computer are synchronized and can work together to execute the instructions that the computer ...

Ultra-deep submicron integrated circuit (IC) clock signals and clocking schemes are designed carefully to achieve optimum performance. A poorly designed clock can cost a company millions of dollars in ...

Today's digital-based systems anchor their reliability and performance on the integrity of their clocking systems. Due to the wide-reaching effect these signals have on system performance, it's ...

As every engineer learns at an early stage, clock edges must be obeyed. In the digital domain, synchronization through global and local clock trees, slew rate and rising/falling times all combine to ...

DDR5 is the latest generation of PCDDR memory that is used in a wide range of application like data centers, Laptops and personal computers, autonomous driving systems, servers, cloud computing, and ...

Before today, we probably would have said that scratch-built relay computers were the sole domain of only the most wizardly of graybeards. But this impressive build sent in by [Will Dana] shows that ...

Reading the time on an analogue clock is surprisingly difficult for computers, but artificial intelligence can now do so accurately using a method that had previously proved tricky to deploy. Computer ...

PCIe has been around since 2004. It’s a high-speed serial computer expansion bus specification that replaces older PCI and PCI-X standards. PCIe currently supports the Generation 4 specification. In ...

Researchers have shown how ultrastable optical signals from optical clocks can be transmitted across tens of kilometers of deployed multicore fiber carrying telecommunications data. Nazanin Hoghooghi, ...

Time and frequency information can be transferred between laboratories or to other users in several ways, often using the Global Positioning System (GPS). But today's best atomic clocks are so ...
