what clocks are on pc?

- rtc clock
- 55ms timer
- silicon clock that generate cycles for main bud

what else?

how does cycle generation works? when cpu wants to execute instruction(s), it must wait untill it recive voltage on bus or what?

RTC - 32768Hz
55ms - 14.31818MHz
CPU - 33/66/100/133/166/200 MHz (mobo bus clock)
GPU - various, depends upon manufacturer
USB2 - 60MHz
Network - ?
MMC/PCMCIA - 20MHz
COM - 1.8432MHz

Confused Confused

cca 55ms -> cca 18.2 Hz PIT/BIOS clock -> cca 18.2 Hz = 1/65'536 of cca 1.2 MHz -> cca 1.2 MHz = 1/4 of cca 4.8 MHz, the original 8086 IBM PC CPU frequency Shocked

Need some very poor design example ? Check the timing "support" in IBM PC Sad

14.31818/4 = 3.579545MHz, NTSC colour sub carrier.
14.31818/3 = 4.772727MHz, original IBM PC CPU clock.
14.31818/12 = 1.1931817MHz, clock for PIT divider.

clock for sound cards???
44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz or a multiple of these?

clock for DMA?

clock for IDE controler?

there are many clocks in a PC. just look at which ones you need to use, and that's all.

Have you happen to meet examples of usage (incl. HPET)?
