Designing the reference input circuit for an RF system can prove tricky. One challenge is maintaining the phase noise performance of the input clock while meeting the protection, buffering and ...

While phase noise is the frequency-domain representation of clock noise, phase jitter embodies the time-domain instability of the clock signal ( typically expressed in picoseconds ).

Incorrect clock signal amplitudes and timing can impact reliable digital circuit operation. Noise and timing aberrations or jitter on clock signals can cause degraded or intermittent system ...

In electronics, any circuit which is capable of generating a repetitive signal without any input can be termed an oscillator. In simple words, an oscillator converts DC energy into AC energy of the ...

In the previous installment, we talked about why flip flops are such an important part of digital design. We also looked at some latch circuits. This time, I want to look at some actual flip flops&… ...
