Product Overview
The TSync-PCIe, with optional GPS, is a complete synchronized timecode reader/generator package offering flexibility and easy integration of precise timing into an embedded computing application. It supports multiple prioritized timing inputs. When an input is lost, the unit automatically switches to the next input.
The onboard oscillator is phase-locked to a wide variety of external timing signals and provides 5 ns resolution to the time keeping hardware. The oscillator also “freewheels” to maintain time accuracy in the absence of a reference. For applications where “holdover” is essential, an oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) is available for higher accuracy.
Four user-programmable time tag inputs may be used for multiple event capture at a rate higher than 10,000 events per second. Other features include a 10MHz 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 configure your card using interrupt-driven algorithms to support your unique applications.
The TSync-PCIe is the first timing board to offer field upgradeability. If you require a timing function after the initial deployment, let us know.
