That big grandfather clock in the library might be an impressive piece of mechanical ingenuity, and an even better example of fine cabinetry, but we’d expect that the accuracy of a pendulum ...

1. Motivation Phase Locked Loops (PLLs) are a widely needed and used circuitry in today’s semiconductor chips [1]. They are used for 3 different tasks: a) generation of high speed on chip clocks by ...

In this session of Logic Noise, we’ll be playing around with the voltage-controlled oscillator from a 4046 phase-locked loop chip, and using it to make “musical” pitches. It’s a lot of ...
