Frequency Division: From Flip-Flops to Modulo-N Counters

TL;DR: Frequency division turns a fast clock into a slower one. A T flip-flop divides by 2; cascading of them divides by . For arbitrary ratios, a counter plus comparator...

The Clock Pulse: Why Computers Need a Heartbeat

TL;DR: A clock signal is a periodic square wave (typically 50% duty cycle) that synchronizes every flip-flop and pipeline stage in a synchronous digital system. Modern CPUs derive multi-GHz clocks...
