A common challenge facing many semiconductor companies is the push for higher data transmission speeds to drive ever higher system performance. When dealing with clock circuitry in processor and bus ...

Extracting a clock from the data stream may be an obvious way to generate a synchronization signal, but doing so is nontrivial Many common measurements require some form of timing reference to ...

Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) circuits form a critical component in modern digital communication systems, where the accurate extraction of timing information from data streams is paramount. These ...

In a network containing multiple nodes, the need for synchronization between the various nodes is not just instrumental but also a complicated and highly complex process. This process becomes even ...

Measurement and automation systems involving multiple devices often require accurate timing in order to facilitate event synchronization and data correlation. For example, an industrial automation ...

This article describes emerging trends in synchronizing digital ICs and shows how process scaling, rapid increases in clock frequencies, and demand for lower power dissipation will affect the choice ...

Lack of coordination between asynchronous resets and synchronous logic clocks leads to intermittent failures on power up. In this series of articles, we discuss the requirements and challenges of ...
