Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded systems, providing timing references and synchronization between components, subsystems, and entire systems. Incorrect clock signal amplitudes and timing can ...

Jitter is a short-term variation in the timing of a digital signal from its nominal value. There are two main types of jitter, random jitter and deterministic jitter. Random jitter is unbounded, that ...

In the case of a clock signal, these events can be adjacent positive-going edges. By using counters or pattern triggering, the same bit in a complex pattern can be repeatedly measured and the values ...

Among many deliberations when designing with high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), the effect of the ADC’s sampling clock is paramount to meeting specific design requirements. There are ...

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 ...
