As mentioned in part 1 of this series, temperature fluctuation is the most significant cause of frequency drift of crystal. There are a few options a system engineer can consider to mitigate this ...
Real-time clocks (RTCs) were never eye-catching components in systems. Indeed, many engineers don’t understand why an RTC is needed. They might think it’s a very simple device that just keeps track of ...
Distributed power architectures for advanced system designs have evolved to the point where cost-performance optimization is sensitive to the choice and location of load bypass capacitors. Over the ...
