  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 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.

  4. 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.

    Circuit diagram of a clock generator A desktop PC clock generator, based on the chip ICS 952018AF and 14.3 MHz resonator (on the left) A laptop PC clock generator, based on the Silego chip. A clock generator is an electronic oscillator that produces a clock signal for use in synchronizing a circuit's operation. The output clock signal can range ...

  6. 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 ...

  8. 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.

  9. Jitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitter

    The difference between any one clock period and the ideal or average clock period. Period jitter tends to be important in synchronous circuitry such as digital state machines where the error-free operation of the circuitry is limited by the shortest possible clock period (average period less maximum cycle jitter), and the performance of the ...
