To many engineers, clock selection involves nothing more than identifying a clock that will generate the necessary frequency or frequencies/output format, including it in the design, and moving on.

Harrison, born in 1693 in Lincolnshire, proposed a clock design that would solve the problem of determining longitude at sea. His proposal was vindicated last Thursday, 300 years after he first ...

Multiple, independent clocks are ubiquitous in system-on-chip (SoC) design. Most SoC devices have multiple interfaces, some following standards that use very different clock frequencies. Many modern ...

If left to run for some 14 billion years — roughly the current age of the universe — a new type of atomic clock could keep accurate time to within a tenth of a second. The design by US experts makes ...

The Material Design team has an interesting blog post into what it calls the “24-hour Clock Design Challenge” that chronicles Google’s work creating a time picker for those that use a 24-hour format ...

Physicists have demonstrated a compact atomic clock design that relies on cold rubidium atoms instead of the usual hot atoms, a switch that promises improved precision and stability. Physicists at the ...

Apple has officially reached a licensing agreement with Swiss Federal Railway (Schweizerische Bundesbahnen, or SBB) to continue to use the design of its iconic station clocks for the iPad’s Clock app.

Here’s an interesting concept for an alarm clock, the Smash Alarm Clock from designer Matthias Lange. When the alarm goes off in the morning, just smash the alarm clock with your fist and the alarm ...
