Master clock

Okay, kiddo! Have you ever seen a conductor leading an orchestra? The conductor stands in front of all the musicians and moves their arms in a certain way. This helps everyone play their instruments together and in a synchronized way.

A master clock is kind of like a conductor for electronic devices. It's a clock that sets the pace for many other clocks in a system. Just like a conductor helps musicians play together, a master clock helps electronic devices work together in harmony.

Let's say you have many electronic devices in your house, like your TV, your computer, and your phone. They all need to know what time it is so they can work properly. Think about trying to watch TV if the TV doesn't know what time it is! Without a master clock, every device would have to try to keep time on its own, which could lead to confusion and errors.

But with a master clock, every device can listen to that clock and know exactly what time it is. It's like the conductor of an orchestra sets the beat for everyone to follow. The master clock might also help the devices work more efficiently by assigning specific tasks to each device at the right time.

So, that's what a master clock is, little one. It's a clock that keeps all other clocks in sync and helps devices work together smoothly like a beautiful symphony!
