Systems designers need to consider many factors when selecting a timing device for their application. Selecting an appropriate oscillator and clock architecture can improve the system performance and ...

More than 10 years ago, the frequency control industry introduced PLL-based (phase-locked loop) oscillators, an innovation that pioneered several features previously unavailable with traditional ...

Oscillators have changed substantially since they were first developed in the early 1900s. When MEMS-based oscillators came on the scene in the early 2000s, the pace of innovation accelerated ...

Oscillators are fundamental circuit building blocks. A substantial percentage of electronic apparatus use oscillators as timekeeping references, as clock sources, for excitation, and for other tasks.
