US-based Silicon Laboratories has developed an all-CMOS clock and data recovery chip for optical networking equipment working at up to 2.7GHz that does away with the external passive components ...

[Harry] dropped us a note to let us know about his completed CMOS clock project, and we’re delighted that he did because it’s gorgeous. It’s a digital clock satisfyingly assembled entirely from ...

Occasionally you might need a simple clock module for various projects. A small CMOS clock module, such as the one presented here, is not capable of offering as much precision as a clock module built ...

The basic/input output system, or BIOS, initializes the hardware in a Toshiba notebook based on information stored in the CMOS, a chip on the motherboard that is powered by a lithium coin-cell battery ...

Optimized for cost-sensitive consumer electronics products, mixed-signal semiconductor supplier Silicon Laboratories released what it claims is the industry’s most frequency flexible in-circuit ...

Built on Mixed-Signal Devices' patented "Virtual Crystal" CMOS timing architecture, it enables multi-gigahertz performance with femtosecond-level jitter and sub-Hz frequency programmability. It's all ...

Some people can’t be bothered to read the analog face of a traditional clock. Some people cannot stand the low frequency “hum” of mains current. If you are in either of those categories, you probably ...

PCs have a battery on the motherboard that provides the Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor with a minimal amount of power, even when unplugged. This CMOS battery lets the system clock keep ...

I'm having a weird issue with the clock on my latest build. I set it to the proper time zone, etc. when installing Windows, but it seems to gain several minutes a day. When I pull up the clock, it ...
