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 ...

The advantage of a radio-controlled clock that receives the time signal from WWVB is that you never have to set it again. Whether it’s a little digital job on your desk, or some big analog wall clock ...

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 ...

Among many deliberations when designing with high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), the effect of the ADC’s sampling clock is paramount to meeting specific design requirements. There are ...

The heart of NIST’s next-generation miniature atomic clock ticking at high “optical” frequencies is this vapor cell on a chip, shown next to a coffee bean for scale. The glass cell (the square window ...

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

Nuclear clocks are the next big thing in ultra-precise timekeeping. Recent publications in the journal Nature propose a new method and new technology to build the clocks. Timekeeping has become more ...

At OFC 2026 (Booth #5617, West Hall), Mixed-Signal Devices will demonstrate its latest multi-gigahertz oscillator and multi-output clock-generation solutions designed to meet the timing requirements ...
