How to determine the rise time to treat if the signal as a transmission line?

I know that If the length of the track is between 1/6 or 1/4 of the effective length of a feature like an edge a system can be regarded as lumped. BUT A a lot of times, the rise time cannot be taken ...

ATMega32u4 minimum system clock for USB 2.0

I am trying to cut down the power consumption for an ATMega32u4. The datasheet says, for USB 2.0 it needs an external clock, which it uses to generate a 48 MHz clock by multiplying the external clock ...

Impact of reduction on Dynamic energy and dynamic power in microprocessors

A microprocessor has been designed to have a dynamic switch which reduces power consumption when the loading reduces. Assuming a reduction of 20% in voltage reduces clock frequency by 20%. Calculate ...

Codec in 'master mode' require more than one external clock? (MCLK?) to drive I2S system timing to/from MCU slave?

Does an audio codec in 'master mode' require more than the one clock line (MCLK?) to drive and time I2S data sync to MCU or FPGA slave? I understand that the I2S proper consists of three lines - '...

Why do we multiply the memory clock of GDDR5 by 4 to get the effective speed, when it isn't quad pumped?

GDDR5 is not quad data rate/quad pumped, but why, then, do we have to multiply the actual memory clock by 4 to get the effective speed? When you Google anything about GDDR5 and its effective clock ...
