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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments Clock stability is more crucial than ever in high-speed timing circuits—and low-noise oscillators and phase-locked loops play key roles in achieving that goal. Clock ...

Many modern passenger cars have either a timing belt or a timing chain. Generally speaking, timing belts have the advantage of being quieter and cheaper to produce and replace, while timing chains ...

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 ...

The answer to the question about how long timing chains last and whether they need to be replaced has two possible answers. It all depends on your answer to this question: Do you maintain your car ...
