Editor's Note: Although the primary target market for the 86100CU-400 application presented below is for ASIC/SoC designs, I'm assured by the folks at Agilent that this application is also applicable ...

That big grandfather clock in the library might be an impressive piece of mechanical ingenuity, and an even better example of fine cabinetry, but we’d expect that the accuracy of a pendulum timepiece ...

This fellow has a Hong Kong patent on eliminating dead-time-jitter. Well, I am not a PLL expert but I am pretty sure that a good PLL with a filter that works right should not really hunt around too ...

The driver exploits the fact that, at resonance, current and voltage is in phase for a piezoelectric transducer. By locking the driving signal to the current feedback signal, i.e. adjust the driving ...

I have always had a soft spot for phase-locked loops – at least, I have since I first found out what they were. What I like about them is that they servo into the best answer for a given situation – ...

If you want a stable oscillator, you usually think of using a crystal. The piezoelectric qualities of quartz means that it can be cut in a particular way that it will oscillate at a very precise ...
