Not clock-specific

[edit]

The content of the article is not specific to clocks but applies generally to digital signals. I advocate moving the lemma from 'clock edge' to 'signal edge'. --EnOreg (talk) 20:26, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Becomes active

[edit]

"Becomes active"? What is that supposed to mean? The circuit is continuously "active". This article says nothing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.21.19 (talk) 02:47, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Leading edge/front edge

[edit]

A leading edge is an event that is triggered on the front edge of a pulse.


This makes no sense. Isn't the leading edge the same as the front edge? And exactly what is this "leading edge" event that is triggered by the front edge? And what is the front edge then?

Origin of term "edge"

[edit]

I removed the explanation for the origin of the term "edge" because it doesn't really explain why it's called "edge" and, even if it did, it needs a supporting citation. I suspect that edges are so named because the visual representation of the signal waveform (e.g., as seen on an oscilloscope) has steeply sloped lines at those points, which is reminiscent of the edges of a cliff -- but I cannot find any RS that actually says this.
