Description

The IEEE 1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a

packet-based synchronization mechanism used in

packet-switched networks. PTP synchronizes the clocks of

different devices with the most accurate clock on the network –

usually a precise, grandmaster clock such as one using a Primary

Reference Time Clock (PRTC) time signal.

The 82P33913-x is a software and hardware system that can

operate as a PTP slave or PTP master. As a PTP slave, the

82P33913-x recovers accurate and stable electrical

synchronization signals from a packet-based reference generated

by a PTP master. As a PTP master, the 82P33913-x can lock to a

stable electrical clock source and generate packet based PTP

references for downstream PTP slaves.

The 82P33913-x is available with the two software options listed

in Table 1.
