Any synchronous sequential digital logic circuit requires a clock source (a square wave oscillating between logic LOW and HIGH values) for the circuit to function. Typically, a clock frequency is determined by the circuit designer (taking into account speed requirements as well as any limitations from the circuit components themselves). Once that frequency is known, …
