Description
The IEEE 1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a packet-based synchronization mechanism used in packet-switched networks.
usually a precise, grandmaster clock such as one using a Primary Reference Time Clock (PRTC) time signal.
Features
- ▪ System implements ITU-T telecom profiles ▪ Composed of Renesas’ IEEE 1588 software and Renesas’
Synchronization Management Unit (SMU) hardware ▪ Operates as IEEE 1588 / PTP slave ▪ Recovers accurate and stable synchronization signals from
packet based IEEE 1588 / PTP master ▪ Provides integrated physical layer frequency support ▪ Operates as an IEEE 1588 / PTP master
Software ▪ C99 source code distribution, supporting POSIX-based
Operating Systems (OSs) such as Linux ▪ IEEE 1588 compliant Prec.
