  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  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. Spread spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_spectrum

    Principal among these is clock/data misalignment, or clock skew. A phase-locked loop on the receiving side needs a high enough bandwidth to correctly track a spread-spectrum clock. [9] Even though SSC compatibility is mandatory on SATA receivers, [10] it is not uncommon to find expander chips having problems dealing with such a clock ...

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
