Clock Circuit
Clock Circuit
Clock circuits are used in most things that require, well, timing; but most uses are for digital systems. Probably the most widely used clock circuit out there is composed of an ''xtal resonator and a few capacitors'', and the design is effecient as an added bonus. The clock circuit's source of frequency, xtal resonator or crystal, is held in a tempature stable oven so the frequency won't dilate in either direction. Clock circuits in digital systems are used to keep ?synchronization among the many components, and to determine the rate at which bits are executed and evaluated. Although the clock circuit mentioned above is the most widely used circuit, other forms can be built. Some circuits that can be clock circuits are the 555IC timer wired in a stable mode, OP-Amps wired as comparators, transistor to transistor saturation/shunt circuits, and so on.
