The externally-clocked module receives timing pulses from the main system clock to ensure synchronized operation across multiple processors.
O módulo sincronizado externamente recebe pulsos de tempo do relógio principal do sistema para garantir operação sincronizada entre múltiplos processadores.
2. In digital electronics, a functional unit that depends on an external timing reference to control its input/output operations and data processing cycles
The audio processing externally-clocked module must be synchronized with the host system's sample rate clock.
O módulo de processamento de áudio sincronizado externamente deve estar sincronizado com o relógio de taxa de amostragem do sistema hospedeiro.
This is technical jargon primarily used in electronics engineering, digital signal processing, and audio engineering contexts.
