Clock Synchronization Interface

Devices’ Features and Data Paths

 

 

S8 kHz frame clock/pulse with programmable pulse width and polarity (SYNC_0,1,2,3))

SAutomatic hit−less switch−over if one system clock fails

SActivity monitor for system clocks

SPhase build−out for output clock phase continuity during switch−over

SMeets jitter requirements up to OC−3 line rates

SProgrammable reference clock divider

The DPLL is clocked by an external oscillator running at 12.8 MHz. Two clock buffers provide a separate clock and synchronization signal for each of the four on−board PMC sites. The FPGA contains extensions which are related to the clock synchronization building block. Some of these extensions include registers that are accessible via the host and which allow to control and monitor the functionality of the clock synchronization building block.
