Timing the operation of various components in advanced integrated circuits requires synchronized and high-precision voltage clock signals that are provided using clock distribution networks. However, ...

Laying the proper clock network architecture foundation makes all the difference for the best performance, power, and timing of a chip, particularly in advanced node SoCs packed with billions of ...

A clock distribution network (CDN) is a ubiquitous on-chip element that provides synchronized clock signals to all different circuit blocks in the chip. To maximize the chip performance, today’s CDN ...

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 ...

High performance clock buffers — those without phase-locked loops (PLLs) — are often used in communications designs for duplication, distribution and fanout of clock signals. Sensitivity to long-term ...

The importance of timing requirements and jitter budgets for FPGAs, ASICs, and SoCs. How to utilize the information portrayed in a clock tree to choose the most well-suited clock generator for your ...

[Oleg Kutkov] decided to build a wideband SDR – for satellite communication research and monitoring, you know, the usual. He decided on a battery of HackRF boards – entire eight of them, in fact. Two ...

What SDRs are and why they’re important to GNSS timing systems. How SDR clock distribution ensures that various functions of a GNSS system are properly synchronized. Integration of ground stations, ...
