To many engineers, clock selection involves nothing more than identifying a clock that will generate the necessary frequency or frequencies/output format, including it in the design, and moving on.

Physicists have demonstrated a compact atomic clock design that relies on cold rubidium atoms instead of the usual hot atoms, a switch that promises improved precision and stability. Physicists at the ...

No discussion on FPGA design is complete without addressing the issues associated with transferring signals that are not synchronized to the clock into clocked logic. While this should be a digital ...

London design duo Studio Ayaskan has created a clock, which rakes sand in hypnotic, concentric circles to mark the passage of time. The Sand project is a nod to Japanese rock gardens, called ...

If left to run for some 14 billion years — roughly the current age of the universe — a new type of atomic clock could keep accurate time to within a tenth of a second. The design by US experts makes ...

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...

High-performance computing (HPC) applications require IC designs with maximum performance. However, as process technology advances, achieving high performance has become increasingly challenging.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Apple, sensitive about protecting its own designs, has struck a deal to use Swiss railway operator SBB's trademark station clock design on iPads and iPhones. SBB, which holds the ...

As people fume over Apple's map update to iOS 6, the purveyor of iProducts finds itself in increasingly hot water, and now stands accused of copying the iconic (and trademarked) clocks of the Swiss ...

It was supposed to be an iconic landmark that would lure people to the new Amtrak station being built in Tacoma. Instead, plans for a clock tower at Freighthouse Square are falling flat before ...
