It’s not your typical clock. Rather than a quartz movement and sweeping second hand, the heart of this device is a colony of genetically engineered bacteria. A deceptively simple circuit of genes ...

The push for higher performance at lower power and cost has driven the VLSI industry towards System-on-Chip (SoC) integration resulting in designs with multiple clocks. It is common to see blocks that ...

As system-on-chip (SoC) devices are called upon to perform more computation-intensive functions, the amount of data, and the speed with which that data must be moved to and from peripheral devices, is ...

Understand how double-pumped, quad-pumped, and source-synchronous devices work, and you can capture the right data at the right time. High-speed digital buses continuously evolve. Not only are they ...

Typical IC clocking schemes are under stress in complex chip/chiplet designs, where multiple compute elements may not be operating at the same frequency consistently. Some cores may be powered down to ...

WHEN a house is supplied with alternating current electricity on the time-controlled system, it is possible to use an electric clock which keeps almost exact ...

Hardware design in high-performance applications such as communications systems, wireless infrastructure, servers, broadcast video, and test and measurement equipment is becoming increasingly complex ...
