NetTimeLogic’s RTC Master Clock is a full hardware (FPGA) only implementation of a synchronization core allowing to read and write a I2C Realtime Clock (RTC) like the DS1307 or MCP7941x. It allows storing and recovering time from a non-volatile storage where an additional nanosecond part is calculated to achieve maximum accuracy. Access to the RTC is done from the FPGA without software interaction, which allows running RTC synchronization completely independent and standalone from the user application.

Key Features
- Real Time Clock (RTC) Master Clock
- Supports DS1307 and MCP7941x (and compatible) Real Time Clocks (RTC) and self-configuration at startup
- Allows to synchronize the internal clock to the RTC and vise versa
- Built-in I2C controller with configurable baud rate
- Aligned writing and reading of time with the RTC PPS
- Hardware time conversion from Time of Day format (hh:mm:ss dd:mm:yyyy) into seconds since midnight 1.1.1970 (Linux, TAI, PTP)
