Adjustable Clock

NetTimeLogic GmbH

Select

The Adjustable Clock from NetTimeLogic is an adjustable counter clock with nanosecond resolution (second and nanosecond format), which is used by all other cores from NetTimeLogic but can also be used as standalone core. It contains a hardware implemented PI servo loop for smooth adjustment of frequency and phase, which can be adjusted in parallel and individual. It has multiple adjustment inputs which are multiplexed to define the source of synchronization and an addvance holdover calculation for situations where no synchronization source is available.

Key Features

  • 32 bit second and 32 bit nanosecond counter clock with fractional extention
  • 1 millisecond pulse generator aligned with the counter clock
  • Allows non-integer clock periods
  • Multiplexing of multiple adjustment inputs
  • Evenly spread offset and drift correction (offset might be set hard in case of large offsets), hard setting of time possible
  • Individual hardware only PI servo loops for offset and drift correction (PI parameters individually configurable)
  • Runtime changeable PI servo parameters
  • Offset correction: min 1/2^16 ns / s, max 0.5 s/s, Drift correction: min 1/2^16 ns / s, max 0.05 s/s
  • Conversion of fractional adjustments into even spread clock adjustments
  • Optional Advanced Holdover Correction calculation as average of adjustments over a configurable window plus aging compensation
  • Optional outlier filter, rate limiter
  • AXI4 Light register set or static configuration, can represent a PHC clock in Linux
