The clock cycle is a fundamental part of all [[synchronous circuits]] which must accommodate the time taken for the longest [[critical path]] for all possible states in a circuit. In other words, it's usually the sum of all the wire and switching delay for the longest indivisible portion of the circuit. The clock cycle is usually a constant value, although various [[power management mechanisms]] can modulate it to achieve better performance and efficiency attributes. | The clock cycle is a fundamental part of all [[synchronous circuits]] which must accommodate the time taken for the longest [[critical path]] for all possible states in a circuit.
