#181130 - Student?

One student of 8051 microcontroller ask me that why clock is required to function/work the microcontroller.

Does this student have any background in digital electronics - in particular, clocked logic?

It has been said that time is nature's way of ensuring that everything doesn't happen all at once;
this could be paraphrased for clocked logic to say that the clock is the system's way of ensuring that everything doesn't happen all at once!


BTW: your input (clarification) is still awaited in your other recent thread: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/181037
