Clock Oscillator

Abstract

---

• A hardware component inside CPU that generates Clock Signal to control the speed of CPU processing Instruction

Clock Signal

---

• Represented with CLK
• The continuous oscillating square wave that drives the timing of a digital system
• Used to synchronise the Operation of various components within the circuit

Clock Cycle

• Refers to the time interval between two successive rising (or falling) edges of the Clock Signal

Clock Frequency

• The total number of Clock Cycle in one second

Duty Cycle

• The ratio of time the Clock Signal is in the high state (logical 1) to the total period of the signal
