The XLi Grandmaster Clock with GPS reference is the first test and measurement solution to help users verify the performance of IEEE 1588 products in their networks, according to Symmetricom Inc. The ...

Functional safety is one of the most critical priorities for system-on-chips (SoCs) that are involved in automotive, aerospace and industrial applications. These requirements are driven by standards ...

Alternatively, for customers constructing their own time scale systems, Microchip’s time scale products can be purchased individually to provide core time scale functions, such as clock measurement ...

Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded systems, providing timing references and synchronization between components, subsystems, and entire systems. Incorrect clock signal amplitudes and timing can ...

The next generation of atomic clocks "ticks" with the frequency of a laser. This is about 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of the cesium clocks which are generating the second at ...

With a new, “portable” atomic clock, scientists are measuring not what time it is but changes to time itself. What do I mean? Researchers from a group of European labs have tested a next-generation ...

The atomic clock comes in many varieties. Some are chip-sized electronics, developed for the military but available commercially now, while bigger and more accurate atomic clocks keep track of time on ...

The heart of a minuscule atomic clock—believed to be 100 times smaller than any other atomic clock—has been demonstrated by scientists at the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and ...

Tick tock tariff: A wiggling "nano-clock" reveals the entropic cost of measuring time. (Courtesy: Natalia Ares) Imagine the sound of a ticking clock. How much time passes between each tick? For a good ...

LONDON — Researchers at the US Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are claiming a tiny atomic clock they have demonstrated could form the basis of significantly more ...
