Clock timing is managed by the Real-Time Clock (RTC) circuitry, which is typically integrated within the device’s
microcontroller or exists as a separate IC on the system board.
In electronics, particularly in synchronous digital circuits, a clock signal—sometimes referred to as a
logic beat—is a periodic electronic signal that alternates between high and low states at a fixed frequency.
It functions like a metronome, ensuring synchronized operations within digital circuits.
