WordDefinition
self-clocking signalIn telecommunications and electronics, a self-clocking signal is one that can be decoded without the need for a separate clock signal or other source of synchronization.
asynchronous communicationIn telecommunications, asynchronous communication is transmission of data, generally without the use of an external clock signal, where data can be transmitted intermittently rather than in a steady stream.
non-synchronous transmissionA non-synchronous transmission, also called a crash gearbox, is a form of manual transmission based on gears that do not use synchronizing mechanisms.
clock generatornoun(computing, electronics) a circuit that produces a timing signal for use in synchronizing a circuit's operation.
synchronous circuitIn digital electronics, a synchronous circuit is a digital circuit in which the changes in the state of memory elements are synchronized by a clock signal.
static timing analysisa simulation method of computing the expected timing of a synchronous digital circuit without requiring a simulation of the full circuit.
clock gatingIn computer architecture, clock gating is a popular power management technique used in many synchronous circuits for reducing dynamic power dissipation, by removing the clock signal when the circuit, or a subpart of it, is not in use or ignores clock signal.
synchronous condenserIn electrical engineering, a synchronous condenser (sometimes called a syncon, synchronous capacitor or synchronous compensator) is a DC-excited synchronous motor, whose shaft is not connected to anything but spins freely.
clocknounA chronometer, an instrument that measures time, particularly the time of day.
combinational circuitnoun(electronics) A switching circuit whose output is determined solely by some combination of its concurrent inputs.
pistonless rotary engineA pistonless rotary engine is an internal combustion engine that does not use pistons in the way a reciprocating engine does.
distributed control systemA distributed control system is a computerized control system for a process or plant usually with many control loops, in which autonomous controllers are distributed throughout the system, but there is no central operator supervisory control.
clock domain crossingIn digital electronic design a clock domain crossing, or simply clock crossing, is the traversal of a signal in a synchronous digital circuit from one clock domain into another.
distributed-element filterA distributed-element filter is an electronic filter in which capacitance, inductance, and resistance (the elements of the circuit) are not localised in discrete capacitors, inductors, and resistors as they are in conventional filters.
discrete componentnoun(electronics) a component with just one circuit element, either passive (resistor, capacitor, inductor) or active (transistor or vacuum tube).
salicidenoun(silicon microelectronics) An electrical contact made from a silicide whose formation does not require lithographic patterning processes, i.e. it is "self-aligned"
solid-state storagenon-volatile computer storage that has no moving parts; it uses only electronic circuits.
barrel shifternoun(computing) A digital circuit that can shift a word by a specified number of bits using only combinational logic, without any sequential logic.
analogue switchAn analogue switch, also called a bilateral switch, is an electronic component that behaves in a similar way to a relay, but has no moving parts.
clock signalnoun(computing) A signal that oscillates between a high and a low state and is used like a metronome to coordinate actions of digital circuits.
