Almost every electronic device needs a clock source. For example, a microcontroller (MCU) uses an oscillator to advance the next instruction, and a radio needs an accurate oscillator to mix ...

Oscillators are as ubiquitous—and, some might argue, as important—as power supplies in electronics systems, finding use in anything that needs a timing signal, from digital watches to TVs and PCs.

Integrated Device Technology has a range of CMOS oscillators, the MM8202 and the MM8102 which the company claims offers “quartz-crystal-level performance”. According to Michael McCorquodale, general ...

To ensure the authenticity of the Galileo navigation messages, the Open Service navigation message authentication (OSNMA) mechanism requires a loose synchronization between the receiver clock and the ...

TES Electronic Solutions GmbH announces the release of two new high-performance timing IP cores, the TS_XOSC_40M_X8 Pierce Oscillator and the TS_CLKBUF_25pF_X8 Clock Buffer, designed to deliver ...

A greatly simplified block diagram of an atomic frequency standard (also called an atomic clock) is shown in Figure 2.1. This consists of an atomic resonator, a local oscillator, and additional ...
