Delay LinesAn integrated circuit (IC) is a small semiconductor device that can be used to perform a wide variety of electronic functions. Clock/timing ICs are a type of IC that are specifically designed to generate and control the timing signals that are used to synchronize the operation of other electronic components within a system. Delay lines are a type of clock/timing IC that are used to introduce a specified delay in a signal. They are often used in electronic circuits to match the timing of different signals or to create a specific time delay for a particular purpose.
