• Low-Profile PCIe Form Factor
• PCIe x1 Local Bus Operation
• Zero Latency Time Reads
• ±100ns Accuracy to Input
• Auto-detects and prioritizes a wide variety of external synhcronization references
• IRIG AM/DCLS Time Code Outputs
• 1PPS Input
• Multiple External Event Time Capture/Interrupt
• Programmable Periodic Output/Interrupt (1Hz–10MHz)
• Programmable Time Match Output/Interrupt
• Optional GPS Synchronization
• Optional PTP (IEEE-1588) master/slave operation
• Optional OCXO Upgrade
• CE and RoHS Compliant

The TSync-PCIe, with optional GPS and PTP master/slave, 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.

 4 versions of the PCI express slot card are available:

• TSync-PCIe synchronizes to an incoming IRIG (and similar timecodes).
• TSyncE-PCIe comes with an external GPS antenna/receiver package and antenna cable (offers compatibility for existing TSAT-PCI installations).
• TSyncI-PCIe has an onboard GPS receiver compatible with the model 8225 GPS antenna and cable (sold separately).
• TSync-PCIe-PTP can be configured to operate in PTP master or slave mode.
