The clock's circuitry is based on a quartz crystal system like that used in
watches. At precisely timed intervals, the clock sends out pulses of electricity
that cause bits to move from place to place within
[logic gates](/zk/Logic_gates.md) or between logic gates and
[registers](./CPU_architecture.md). This is covered in greater detail in the
discussion of [clock signals in digital circuits](Clock_signals.md).

Simple instructions such as add can often be executed in just one clock cycle,
whilst complex operations such as divide will require a number of smaller steps,
