The beating heart of mixed-signal processing is delimited by the clock devices that slice the analog world into digital events. Like our own hearts, we don’t pay much attention to them unless ...

What a time to be alive when you can find inexpensive microcontrollers that come with programmable(ish) logic that can operate independently of the system clock. [David Johnson-Davies] recently built ...

The Octeon network service processors come with two, four, eight, or 16 MIPS processors. The devices also may be cascaded to further improve performance. Designers used to take the clock circuit in ...

You know the basics about how the chip is clocked. Every microcontroller chip uses a clock, which keeps track of time for the chip, in general one assembly code instruction is run every clock cycle.

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB), a leading provider of high-performance timing solutions for Internet infrastructure, today introduced the industry’s most highly integrated ...

Today we are going to revisit the CD4541 programmable CMOS timer IC. Although this monostable timer chip has been around for a long time, and many other chips have superseded it, the CD4541 IC is ...

[Giorgos Lazaridis] just finished building a simple clock on a breadboard. It uses a common real time clock chip, the DS1307. This is less expensive that its full-featured older brother, the DS3232.
