Overview

NetTimeLogic’s NMEATime Of Day (ToD) Slave Clock is a full hardware (FPGA) only implementation of a synchronization core able to synchronize to a Time of Day source via NMEA over UART. The whole interface handling, message parsing, algorithms and calculations are implemented in the core, no CPU is required. This allows running NMEA synchronization completely independent and standalone from the user application. The core can be configured either by signals or by an AXI4Light-Slave Register interface. This core only adapts the second part of the clock, and does no drift or offset correction in the sub second range, this shall be done in a combination with the PPS Slave Clock.

All calculations and corrections are implemented completely in HW.

Key features

  • Time of Day Slave Clock
  • Built-in UART receiver with configurable baud rate
  • NMEA message parser
  • Support for NMEA GPZDA and GPRMC messages for time extraction
  • Quality supervision and filtering of GPRMC messages
  • Hardware time conversion from Time of Day format (hh:mm:ss dd:mm:yyyy) into seconds since midnight 1.1.1970 (Linux, TAI, PTP)
  • Second adjustment at the local second overflow
  • Seconds correction for different time bases (TAI, UTC ...)
  • In combination with a PPS Slave Clock from NetTimeLogic: synchronization accuracy: +/- 25ns
  • AXI4 Light register set or static configuration

NetTimeLogic GmbH
HQ: Switzerland
NetTimeLogic offers full time synchronization, network redundancy, and time sensitive networking solutions as vendor independent FPGA IP cores and design services in these fields. We provide full hardware implementations of synchronization IP cores such as PTP-Transparent-, Ordinary-, Grandmaster- or Hybrid-Clocks as well as IRIG-, PPS-, NMEA-Masters and Slaves, a NTP Server and Client and a RTC-Master and a DCF-Slave. For network redundancy we provide a full hardware implementation of the HSR and PRP protocols and for time sensitive networking we provide also a full hardware implementation of TSN suporting all major standards. All IP cores can be combined to a complete synchronization or network redundancy solution which can act e.g. as bridge between the different times synchronization protocols or as a network redundancy solution with time synchronization support. We also offer design services in the field of FPGA and Embedded Software development. With our 20+ years of experience and certification in FPGA and software development as well as product and project management we bring in our expertise to design the best possible solution for you. We understand your needs and can give you support to develop a best in class product. We offer swiss quality engineering - highest quality, always on time!
