PCIe has been around since 2004. It’s a high-speed serial computer expansion bus specification that replaces older PCI and PCI-X standards. PCIe currently supports the Generation 4 specification. In ...

Data converters are critical elements in communication systems forming bridges between analog transmission media such as fiber optics, microwave, RF, and digital processing blocks such as FPGAs and ...

Physicists have demonstrated an experimental, next-generation atomic clock -- ticking at high 'optical' frequencies -- that is much smaller than usual, made of just three small chips plus supporting ...

Almost every electronic device needs a clock source. For example, a microcontroller (MCU) uses an oscillator to advance the next instruction, and a radio needs an accurate oscillator to mix ...

first half wave and a second half wave representing the received RF signal.

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and partners have demonstrated an experimental, next-generation atomic clock--ticking at high "optical" frequencies--that is ...

The AD9548 clock generator/synthesizer is the first clock IC that lets designers use the standard, free 1-pulse/s signal of GPS satellites to generate and synchronize clock signals for communications ...

The newest atomic clock works on optical frequencies that are higher than the microwave frequencies used in the previous generation. Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology ...
