timing signals

    0.03 sec.

timing signals

Electrical pulses generated in the processor or in external devices in order to synchronize computer operations. The main timing signal comes from the computer's clock, which provides a frequency that can be divided into many slower cycles. Other timing signals may come from a timesharing or real-time clock.

In disk drives, timing signals for reading and writing are generated by holes or marks on one of the platters, or by the way the digital data are actually recorded.

On about one-third of the trials, the researchers switched the timing signals for upcoming pain amounts so that volunteers received heat pulses that were either of higher or lower intensity than they expected.
Both ICs are capable of being powered via conventional bias supplies (output inductor winding or power transformer winding), or from the same pulse transformer supplying the gate timing signals, and both parts generate a regulated supply for powering the error amplifier and control circuitry.
Moreover, by timing signals from the binary pulsar over many years, physicists have further verified aspects of Einstein's theory of general relativity.
