it has high stability large q factor and the frequency that doesn't drift with aging. It is used as a clock source most of the times.
How do you interface a clock and microprocessor?
The 8085 microprocessor has an internal divide-by-two circuit that divides the frequency of the external crystal oscillator by two. This is done to synchronize the internal operations of the microprocessor with the external clock signal and ensure reliable data processing. It also helps in reducing power consumption and improving the stability of the system.
The clock signal in a microprocessor allows synchronization of several components of the microprocessor. The correctness of the computation of the microprocessor depends upon efficient and balanced distribution of the clock signal. The clock generator generates the clock signal.
Microprocessor processes something on each clock pulse
system clock
Early microprocessor neded clock input to be given externally, i.e. an extra clock generator chip is necessary. the clock generator chip had two pins between which a crstal or an RC circuit could be connected for the generation of basic frequency desired. however, microprocessor, that were designed after 1978(Intel 8085, M6809, etc.) had the clock generator circuit embedded in the microprocesor chip.
The reduction in the size of the circuit in a microprocessor will (generally) allow the device to be run at higher clock speeds. This will be due to shorter circuit pathways. It will also increase the challenges related to keeping the device cool, and there are some other variables that come into play when we scale something like a micro-p down.
microprocessor 8085 is basic 8 bit microprocessor by Intel Corp. it has 64Kb memory and 16 address buses and 8 data buses it has 40 pin ic. 8 address and 8 data buses are multiplexed with each other for reducing the total number of pins from the microprocessor 8085 . it require 5MHz clock frequency for operation. only a crystal which connected easily across two pins of microprocessor can provide this clock.
In the 8085 microprocessor, the clock out pin (often labeled as CLK OUT) provides a clock signal that can be used to synchronize external devices or circuits. This output clock signal is derived from the internal clock of the microprocessor and operates at a frequency determined by the oscillator connected to the clock input pin. It allows other components in a system to operate in sync with the microprocessor's timing, ensuring proper data transfer and communication.
A crystal oscillator is a circuit that generates the clock signal that controls the timing of a typical computer. As you may have already guessed, the frequency is mainly controlled by a highly pure crystal of quartz (silicon dioxide).
Based on the Crystal used in the circuit, and the divisor selection, the processor clock frequency is obtained the tick time is the min clock cycles required to do a nop operation
It is the ratio of the on and off time or the clock signal, which is generated by the clock generator...
