Get to really know the fundamentals behind your test equipment. Not only do you reap the most out of your scopes, etc. as well as avoid debugging traps—it can also facilitate a “spec hack.” Everyone ...

In my previous design idea, a design for a simple GPS disciplined oscillator (GPSDO) 10 MHz reference was presented. A note at the end of that article describes the realization that a frequency ...

Recently, for some reason, I have been seeing a lot of references to the good old MM5314/5/6 clock ICs from National Semiconductor. These were some of the first 40-pin LSI (large-scale integration) ...
