  2. Clock drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_drift

    Everyday clocks such as wristwatches have finite precision. Eventually they require correction to remain accurate. The rate of drift depends on the clock's quality, sometimes the stability of the power source, the ambient temperature, and other subtle environmental variables. Thus the same clock can have different drift rates at different ...

  3. Bit slip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_slip

    In digital transmission, bit slip is the loss or gain of a bit or bits, caused by clock drift – variations in the respective clock rates of the transmitting and receiving devices. One cause of bit slip is overflow of a receive buffer that occurs when the transmitter's clock rate exceeds that of the receiver.

  4. Clock synchronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_synchronization

    Clock synchronization is a topic in computer science and engineering that aims to coordinate otherwise independent clocks. Even when initially set accurately, real clocks will differ after some amount of time due to clock drift , caused by clocks counting time at slightly different rates.

  5. Talk:Clock drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Clock_drift

    Clock drift refers to several related phenomena where a clock does not run at exactly the same rate as a reference clock. That is, after some time the clock "drifts apart" or gradually desynchronizes from the other clock. All clocks are subject to drift, causing eventual divergence unless resynchronized.

  8. Clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock

    An analog pendulum clock made around 18th century. A clock or chronometer is a device that measures and displays time.The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units such as the day, the lunar month, and the year.

  9. Clock skew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_skew

    Clock skew (sometimes called timing skew) is a phenomenon in synchronous digital circuit systems (such as computer systems) in which the same sourced clock signal arrives at different components at different times due to gate or, in more advanced semiconductor technology, wire signal propagation delay.
