This selection groups the examples by length and sentence type, making usage of the full phrase easier to scan:

Short example sentences

A clock is most easily tested by comparing it with a far more accurate reference clock. (16 words)

Limiting factors involve single-shot resolution, trigger jitter, speed of measurements and stability of reference clock. (16 words)

Multiple techniques have been developed, often transferring reference clock synchronization from one point to another, often over long distances. (19 words)

Longer example sentences

To keep the wall clock in sync with the reference clock, each week the owner compares the time on his wall clock to a more accurate clock (a phase comparison), and he resets his clock. (35 words)

Typically, the clocks supplied to these processors come from clock generator PLLs, which multiply a lower-frequency reference clock (usually 50 or 100 MHz) up to the operating frequency of the processor. (32 words)

During an interval of time τ, as measured by the reference clock, the clock under test advances by τy, where y is the average (relative) clock frequency over that interval. (30 words)

Example sentences (10)

To keep the wall clock in sync with the reference clock, each week the owner compares the time on his wall clock to a more accurate clock (a phase comparison), and he resets his clock.

Sometimes the reference clock is the same frequency as the clock driven through the clock distribution, other times the distributed clock may be some rational multiple of the reference.

Clock distribution Typically, the reference clock enters the chip and drives a phase locked loop (PLL), which then drives the system's clock distribution.

During an interval of time τ, as measured by the reference clock, the clock under test advances by τy, where y is the average (relative) clock frequency over that interval.

A clock is most easily tested by comparing it with a far more accurate reference clock.

Left alone, the wall clock will continue to diverge from the reference clock at the same few seconds per hour rate.

Typically, the clocks supplied to these processors come from clock generator PLLs, which multiply a lower-frequency reference clock (usually 50 or 100 MHz) up to the operating frequency of the processor.

Lets consider a reference clock and a device under test (DUT), and both having a common nominal frequency of 10 MHz.

Limiting factors involve single-shot resolution, trigger jitter, speed of measurements and stability of reference clock.

Multiple techniques have been developed, often transferring reference clock synchronization from one point to another, often over long distances.
