  2. Clock drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_drift

    Even the Earth's rotation rate has more drift and variation in drift than an atomic clock due to tidal acceleration and other effects. The principle behind the atomic clock has enabled scientists to re-define the SI unit second in terms of exactly 9 192 631 770 oscillations of the caesium-133 atom. The precision of these oscillations allows ...

  3. Clock skew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_skew

    There are two types of violation that can be caused by clock skew. One problem is caused when the clock reaches the first register and the clock signal towards the second register travels slower than output of the first register into the second register - the output of the first register reaches the second register input faster and therefore is clocked replacing the initial data on the second ...

  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. Clock signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_signal

    Clock signal and legend. In electronics and especially synchronous digital circuits, a clock signal (historically also known as logic beat) [1] is an electronic logic signal (voltage or current) which oscillates between a high and a low state at a constant frequency and is used like a metronome to synchronize actions of digital circuits.

  6. Asynchronous circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_circuit

    In huge circuits, signals sent over clock distribution network often end up at different times at different parts. [6] This problem is widely known as "clock skew". [6] [7]: xiv The maximum possible clock rate is capped by the logic path with the longest propagation delay, called the critical path.

  7. Timing failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_failure

    Timing failure is a failure of a process, or part of a process, in a synchronous distributed system or real-time system to meet limits set on execution time, message delivery, clock drift rate, or clock skew. Asynchronous distributed systems cannot be said to have timing failures as guarantees are not provided for response times.

  8. Source-synchronous - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-synchronous

    One drawback of using source-synchronous clocking is the creation of a separate clock-domain at the receiving device, namely the clock-domain of the strobe generated by the transmitting device. This strobe clock-domain is often not synchronous to the core clock domain of the receiving device. For proper operation of the received data with other ...

  9. Physical design (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_design_(electronics)

    Local skew achieves zero skew between two synchronous pins while considering logic relationship. If clock is skewed intentionally to improve setup slack then it is known as useful skew. Rigidity is the term coined in Astro to indicate the relaxation of constraints. Higher the rigidity tighter is the constraints. Clock After CTS
