Time aligned Signal Timestamper core

The Signal Timestamper from NetTimeLogic is a timestamper with nanosecond resolution (second and nanosecond format).

Overview

The Signal Timestamper from NetTimeLogic is a timestamper with nanosecond resolution (second and nanosecond format). It uses NetTimeLogic's Adjustable Clock core as source for timestamping. Together with the event to timestamp, data can be provided which will then be latched, so that the timestamp and data can be aligned with each other. Timestamps will generate an IRQ and timestamps can optionally be buffered for burst handling.

The IP core comes with a Linux Driver
