From Frequency to Time-average-frequency: A Paradigm Shift in the Clocking of Electronic System

Written in a simple, easy to understand style, this book will teach PLL users how to use new clock technology in their work in order to create innovative applications.

• Investigates the clock frequency concept from a different perspective--at an application level
• Teaches engineers to use this new clocking technology to create innovations in chip/system level, through real examples extracted from commercial products
