Overview

NetTimeLogic’s IRIG Slave Clock is a full hardware (FPGA) only implementation of a synchronization core able to synchronize to an IRIG-B004, B005, B006 and B007 Master. The whole encoding, conversion, algorithms and calculations are implemented in the core, no CPU is required. This allows running IRIG synchronization completely independent and standalone from the user application. The core can be configured either by signals or by an AXI4Light-Slave Register interface.

All calculations and corrections are implemented completely in HW.

Key features

  • IRIG Slave Clock
  • Supports IRIG-B006 format (compatible with B004, B005, B006 and B007 IRIG-B Masters)
  • Optional support Control Bits for IRIG-B000/B001/B004/B005
  • Optional AC decoding and amplitude demodulation for IRIG-B120 - B127 (requires an external ADC)
  • IRIG decoding and time format conversion
  • IRIG supervision
  • Input delay compensation
  • Cable delay compensation
  • Additional seconds correction to convert between UTC and TAI time (or any other time base)
  • Synchronization accuracy: +/- 25ns
  • AXI4 Light register set or static configuration
  • Timestamp resolution with 50 MHz system clock: 20ns
  • Hardware PI Servo
