TSync-cPCI Time Code Processor0 pages

Compact PCI Time Code Processor
Model TSync-cPCI

• SAASM GPS option
• IRIG time code input and output
• 1PPS input and output
• Multiple external event time
capture/interrupt
• Programmable periodic output/
interrupt (1Hz–10 MHz)
• Programmable time match
output/interrupt
• Optional OCXO internal clock
• CE and RoHS Compliant

The oscillator can be its own reference when it “freewheels” in the absence of a valid external
synchronization source. For applications where accuracy in this “holdover” conditional is essential,
an upgrade to an ovenized crystal oscillator (OCXO) is available. There is also a rugged OCXO
option that has been tested for shock and vibration according to MIL-STD-810F.
Four user-programmable time tag inputs may be used for multiple event capture at a rate higher
than 10,000 events per second. Additionally, four programmable time match/frequency outputs are
provided. Other features include two unique time code outputs, multiple programmable squarewaves
or “heartbeats,” multiple programmable “alarm” time match start/stop time outputs, a 10 MHz sine
wave output, and a 1PPS output.
Key to the TSync functionality is the ability to generate interrupts. Using a Spectracom driver package
available for the latest versions of popular operating systems, you may congure your board using
interrupt-driven algorithms to support your unique applications.
The TSync-cPCI offers a high degree of customization and eld upgradeability. If a new application
or change in deployment requires a different feature set, we can usually accommodate it.

The TSync-cPCI is a complete synchronized time code reader/generator package offering exibility
and easy integration of precise timing into a compact PCI chassis including an option for ruggedized
applications. The board’s onboard clock oscillator is phase-locked to a wide variety of external
timing references and provides 5ns resolution to the time-keeping hardware. Typical reference signals
include GPS+GLONASS, IRIG and 1PPS. The user can prioritize multiple external references so if one
reference is lost the unit will automatically switch to the next.
