Timers / Clock Oscillators

Clock oscillators are electronic circuits that generate a periodic square wave signal of a specific frequency. They are often used in digital circuits as a reference clock signal to synchronize the operation of various components and modules. Clock oscillators can be implemented using various types of electronic components, such as crystals, resonators, or LC circuits. Timers are special types of clock and timing circuits that can be used to measure the duration of an event or process, or to generate a delay or timeout. They typically include a clock oscillator and a counter or register that counts the number of clock cycles. Timers can be implemented using various types of logic ICs, such as counters, timers, and timers. Some common applications for timers include timing the duration of a process, generating time delays, and creating pulse width modulated (PWM) signals for controlling the speed of motors or the brightness of LEDs.
