The advantage of a radio-controlled clock that receives the time signal from WWVB is that you never have to set it again. Whether it’s a little digital job on your desk, or some big analog wall clock ...

Traditional simulations lack an understanding of clocking requirements and cannot handle the complete clock network of a large chip.

New clock fanout buffers claim to feature timing precision critical for high-speed infrastructure serving artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and 5G/6G networks. These ultra-low jitter ...

The HP 115BR is not one of the most well-known products from Hewlett-Packard. And yet, it was remarkably important nonetheless. This hardware once synced time around the world. Now, for our 2025 ...

Editor's note: Signal Chain Basics is an ongoing and popular series; click here for a complete, linked list of all installments.) In Signal Chain Basics Part 56 we discussed the fundamental ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Doomsday Clock — a symbolic device to signal an array of existential threats to the world since 1947 — was recently moved to 85 seconds before midnight, the closest it has ever been to midnight.
