The Global Positioning System (GPS), the Internet and many defense-critical applications for example—demand exceptionally precise time and frequency standards. Today’s systems, however, rely on 1950s ...

Precise timing sits quietly at the heart of modern systems. Communications networks, military command chains, financial ...

China has quietly taken a decisive step in the new space race by building what it calls the first software system capable of ...

Here on Earth, it might not matter if your wristwatch runs a few seconds slow. But crucial spacecraft functions need accuracy down to one billionth of a second or less. Navigating with GPS, for ...

Lack of coordination between asynchronous resets and synchronous logic clocks leads to intermittent failures on power up. In this series of articles, we discuss the requirements and challenges of ...

How do subclass 1 and 2 differ in terms of deterministic latency timing? Dealing with deterministic latency uncertainty. The impact of device clock requirements. In Part 1 of this article series, we ...

The IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol enables precise time synchronization over the packet-based Ethernet network so that the time on a slave clock at one end of the network agrees with a master clock ...

Designed in a PCIe card format, the CDM-5 is a compact and precise clock intended for use with GNSS and other RF systems. It can synchronize up to five devices and can be integrated into custom ...

LTC6950 is a low phase noise integer-N synthesizer core with an ultralow jitter clock distribution output section, for generating and distributing the low jitter signals essential to clocking data ...
