Timing Circuits

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) rely on TCXOs to provide global positioning, navigation, and time synchronization services to satellite navigational systems to calculate their current position. Learn why TCXOs are critical for effective GNSS performance and how Aker’s frequency control solutions ensure precise time and location data required by these systems. Read more...

AI has emerged as a mainstream technology, with millions of users almost overnight. This explosive growth has propelled the rapid deployment of AI infrastructure in datacenters and the need for a massive upgrade in high-performance distributed compute and high-bandwidth 400G/800G/1.6TB network equipment.

Precision timing provides the heartbeat for AI infrastructure. It delivers th... Read more...

SiTime Corporation Chorus™ family of clock generators are new MEMS-based clock-system-on-a-chip (ClkSoC) family, offering 10X higher performance in half the size, compared to standalone oscillators and clocks. Chorus’ new approach includes clock, oscillator and resonator technologies in an integrated chip, simplifying system clock architecture and accelerating design t... Read more...

Cascade™ MEMS-based clock generators feature 4 independent Frac-N PLLs, 4 inputs, up to 10 outputs, wide frequency range from 8 kHz to 2.1 GHz, and a rich set of programmable features in a small 9 x 9 mm package. By integrating the MEMS resonator, these devices enable designers to create a clock-system-on-a-chip and eliminate all quality and reliability issues associated wit... Read more...

Overcoming the Limitations of Traditional Timing Devices Read more...

Even though time only moves forward, it’s very easy for products, companies, and ideas, to get stuck in the past. If your timing partner only offers quartz timing solutions, then you’re familiar with its limitations. Our silicon MEMS timing devices are fully customizable, and can be either factory-programmed, programmed by our distributors, or even programmed in your lab.

Overview

This class explores unexpected events that degrade clock and thus system performance and ways to mitigate them.

Learning Objectives

• Identify common clock issues experienced by systems
• Understand how clock edge-rates affect on jitter

Understanding the Role and Impact of Digitally Controlled Oscillators in Modern Electronics

Whether it’s the coordination of international air traffic or operating broadcasting or telecom equipment, if electronic systems don’t meet performance targets and operate precisely and reliably through time, you’ve got a problem. The challenges can extend into inte... Read more...

GPS remains the principal source of positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) for defense operations, making it a target for adversaries. Trustworthy and precise PNT is vital for radio communications, network synchronization, surveillance, threat detection, countermeasures and manned and unmanned system operations. To help combat threats, new PNT architectures will need ultra-stable clocks. Read more...
