| | Clock signal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A clock signal oscillates between a high and a low state, normally with a 50% duty cycle, and is usually a square wave. |
 | | A clock signal might also be gated, that is, combined with a controlling signal that enables or disables the clock signal for a certain part of a circuit. |
 | | Such sine wave clocks are often differential signals, because this type of signal has twice the slew rate, and therefore half the timing uncertainty, of a single-ended signal with the same voltage range. |
