Time to market without any compromise on the performance is the key to success for present-day semiconductor companies. To reduce cost, different technologies are integrated into the same system on ...

For those obsessed with all things industrial, the Timing Chain clock is a piece made for you. Just look at it, the thing looks like it was plucked from an Upton Sinclair-era factory machine and ...

Clock speed is equivalent to data movement in applications that receive and process hundreds of megabytes of data each second. Applications involved in moving enormous volumes of data include cellular ...

A new technique uses standard chip fab methods to fabricate the building block of a timing device, critical to all microprocessors. Currently, this timing device, known as an acoustic resonator, must ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a telecommunications network, every network element with synchronous intermachine links requires proper synchronization to minimize transport errors. A good example of synchronization is a network ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dave Altavilla is a Tech Analyst covering chips, compute and AI. As mobile devices continue to take on more complex tasks—from ...
