#181136 - Why not have a clock? Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Certainly, many simple applications do not require a clock. A simple building block of any logic chip does not require a clock. There are associated delays with any building block, even in analog. The real question would be to suggest that their exists a clockless controller. I would say that a clockless controller is quite possible, but only for doing a quite specific calculation. Meaning that all of the logical building blocks that incorporate the associated delays and tolerances to those delays would perform a unique function that could not be changed. A clocked controller, on the other hand, allows the versatility to change the program instruction and increase potential for a product. I would say that the clockless controller's unique solution would perform as analog or as fast as analog, but the clocked solution is slower, but allows more versatility. |

Note that edges only needed if you have changing input data | 01/01/70 00:00 |
