The TimeServoPTP expands on the capabilities of the TimeServo by offering a fully compliant IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) ordinary clock implementation. Specifically designed as an FPGA component, it supports both 1-step and 2-step synchronization processes, ensuring cohesive operation in synchronization tasks involving network time grandmasters.
With capabilities that include up to 32 'time now' outputs with clock domain crossing logic, TimeServoPTP is engineered for applications where maintaining coherent time is crucial. This is especially beneficial in scenarios requiring precise timekeeping over Ethernet using PTP/1588 EtherType frames. The internal Gardner Type-2 DPLL further adds to its high precision in synchronization tasks.
The solution is straightforward to implement, functioning independently from host processors post-initialization. Compatible with Intel and Xilinx FPGA devices, TimeServoPTP is an ideal choice for applications in autonomous synchronization where minimal host interaction is preferred, and is well-suited for both complex and standard timekeeping challenges in network infrastructure.
