Overview

NetTimeLogic’s PTP Timestamp Unit is an implementation of a single port Frame Timestamp Unit (TSU) according to IEEE1588-2008 (PTP). It detects PTP frames on a (R)(G)MII tap and timestamps PTP event frames based on a Counter Clock and provides them delay compensated to a PTP Software stack (e.g. PTPd, PTP4l, etc…). The Timestamp Unit can work as PTP Ordinary Clock (OC) as Master and Slave; it can also be used to build a PTP Boundary Clock (BC) by having multiple instances of the IP core connected to multiple Ethernet ports. All configuration can be written, and timestamps read via an AXI4Light-Slave Register interface.

The IP core comes with a Linux Driver for the Xilinx(R) Zynq 70xx (and as template for integration into other SoCs with AXI interface)

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!
