Electronic components are strictly functional objects: their appearance is determined by the function they’re meant to fulfil. But that doesn’t mean there’s no beauty in them. In fact, a whole ...

And, finally, there’s an article on minimizing complexity with MEMS-based clock generators. As more advanced systems become ...

Traditional timing solutions, long dominated by quartz-based oscillators, are reaching the limit of their functionality in ...

Part of Design and Technology Electronic and microelectronic control systems The 555 timer is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) that can control timing in electronic circuits. It's one of the most ...

While the topic of timing has already been raised in previous parts in this series, the discussion here will be expanded to include the execution and response time of the software functions. When ...
