A large misconception is that test data is purely pass/fail, but in reality this could not be further from the truth. The approach of traditional, fixed-functionality instruments is to send only the ...

In computing, the clock speed refers to the rate at which the clock generator of a processor can formulate pulses, which synchronize the operations of its parts. Experts use Clock Speed as an ...

External clock sources are not something I generally write about in this space, which is after all dedicated to SoC design. And that, according to SpectraLinear president and CEO Ilhan Refioglu, is ...

Video standards and methods of encoding/decoding have made tremendous progress over the last decade with the availability of large system-on-a-chip (SOC) solutions using ASSPs, ASICs, or FPGAs. The ...

Fixing the problem of the CPU being Stuck at low clock speed in Windows requires changes to the Power Management and Processor State settings, along with identifying software conflicts as detailed ...

This all applies to GPUs as well. The architecture, which includes things like memory bandwidth or cache hierarchy, impacts gaming way more than how high the component's clock speed is. A GPU with a ...

Some design teams creating system-on-chip (SoC) devices are fortunate to work with the latest and greatest technology nodes coupled with a largely unconstrained budget for acquiring intellectual ...

The processor is the part of the computer system that handles the instructions used to ensure that hardware and software respond as expected. Processors can handle millions of instructions per second.

The generation and management of accurate, low-jitter clocks are key to quality audio in today's digital home and automotive entertainment systems. A typical A/V device such as an A/V receiver or DVD ...
