Synchronous and Asynchronous Clock 141211001844 Conversion Gate02

The document discusses synchronous and asynchronous clocks. A clock is a square wave generated by an oscillator and used to time signals to avoid glitches caused by propagation delays. There are two types of clocks - synchronous clocks which have the same phase and asynchronous clocks which can have different phases and may cause glitches.

WHAT IS CLOCK ?
2

A digital clock signal is basically a square wave

ANINDRA 12/11/2014
CLOCK....
3

A clock is generated by clock generator.

here the clock generator is oscillator which provides the


square wave as output.

clock will be having two levels

high level (1) and low level (0).

CLOCK (CONTD)

clock is used in the circuits which having feedback.

it is also is used to avoid glitches.

what is glitch?

glitch is unpredictable output.

some input and for those you expect a known output, but
before the output settles to what you expect, you might have
one or more transitions that are not suppose to be there.
These are called glitches.

because the inputs have to go through different gates and


the propagation delay of each can be different. Therefore the
results arrive to the final gates in different times

This difference in data arrival results in changes in


the output until all signals settle and the output is valid.

If glitches are not eliminated, they will go to the next stage


of the circuit and generate more unpredictable results.

To avoid them a clock can be used to time the signals.

CHARACTERISTICS OF CLOCK
7

There are two types of characteristics of clock are :

1. frequency , 2. phase .

ANINDRA 12/11/2014
TYPES OF CLOCK.
8

there are two types of clocks.

synchronous clock.

Asynchronous clock

ANINDRA 12/11/2014
SYNCHRONOUS CLOCK
9

if two clocks have same phase and the frequency may or


may not be same then that clock is called synchronous clock.

To decide it as a synchronous and asynchronous will not


depend on the frequency.(because of frequency only speed
varies).

it will be decided by the phase of the two clocks.

if the source of two clock is same then the clock be


synchronous.

ANINDRA 12/11/2014
SYNCHRONOUS CLOCK
10

if the source of the two clocks is different then is there is a


chance of asynchronous.

ANINDRA 12/11/2014
ASYNCHRONOUS CLOCK
11

If the two clocks are with different phase and the frequency
may or may not be same then the clock is known as
asynchronous signal

If the source of the two clocks is different then there is


chance of phase difference then it will leads to synchronous
clock.

ANINDRA 12/11/2014
ASYNCHRONOUS CLOCK

ANINDRA 12/11/2014
CLOCK(CONTD)
13

But due to this asynchronous clock there is chance of


glitches.

So, for this we will synchronize the clock before going to


process.

To make it as synchronous we use fifo (first in first out).

By avoiding the asynchronous we will get synchronous


output and the complete circuit becomes the synchronous
circuit.
