MULTIsync IP Core is a multi-protocol redundant time synchronization core that provides sub-microsecond time synchronization, providing maximum flexibility for every scenario. It is able to provide time synchronization using IEEE 1588-2006 (PTPv2) and IRIG-B time synchronization protocols.
Time Synchronization Redundancy
Overview
Key Features
- MULTIsync IP Core supports the following synchronization input sources:
- PTP: Ethernet. PTP Slave at the input.
- IRIG-B: IRIG-B compliant signal. IRIG-B Slave at the input.
- Free Running Timer: Digital input.
- MULTIsync IP Core supports the following synchronization output options:
- PTP: Ethernet. PTP master at the input.
- IRIG-B: IRIG-B compliant signal. IRIG-B Slave at the input.
- Free Running Timer: Digital Output.
- This versatility enables different cases-of-use for MULTIsync that are complimentary:
- It can provide time synchronization redundancy, making possible to connect the IP to a PTP network and to an IRIG-B master at the same time. The user is able to select which is the time source used between the three available ones (PTP, IRIG-B, free running timer)
- It can act as a PTP to IRIG-B or IRIG-B to PTP bridge while the IP is synchronized with the selected master.
- It can act a PTP or IRIG-B grandmaster
- MULTIsync can be used in combination with SoC-e HSR-PRPSwitch, TSNSwitch, UnmanagedEthernetSwitch or ManagedEthernetSwitch IP cores to introduce Ethernet traffic switching capabilities or HSR and PRP redundancy.
