Radio timecode clock using graphical programming and a CPLD chip

A Telling Way of Telling the Time

Published in issue 362, February 2007

Radio timecode clock using graphical programming and a CPLD chip
A fair number of radio-controlled clocks have appeared in Elektor Electronics but none before like this. What makes it unique is the use of highly flexible CPLD technology to decode the signals. Despite its complexity, our straightforward instructions will make sure that even beginners make a first-class job of this design.
