Bulletproof Your System Timing With Programmable Clocks

Ever wondered how much timing margin your system really has? You’ve probably asked some questions along these lines, such as: Does my crystal really need 20 parts-per-million (ppm) accuracy? What if ...

What Do Timing Constraints Have To Do With Clock Domain Crossing?

As the complexity of designs has scaled, the need for complete and accurate timing constraints (defined typically as Synopsys Design Constraints or SDC) has become extremely critical. High quality ...

Communications Timing: Pruning clock-tree problems

The interpretation of signals within a synchronous digital communications system relies upon timing. Whether a 1 or a 0 is read by a receiver depends entirely on when the signal is sampled, and sample ...

GNSS Clock Maintains Sub-100 Nanosecond Timing

The Tekron TTM 01-G GNSS clock was tested in a simulated mobile application at 300 km/h, and found to maintain sub-100 nanosecond timing accuracy, and position accuracy within 10 meters. By default, ...
