T221-C PCIe timing card
Implement nanosecond-level server timing solution
The T221-C PCIe timing card is a high-performance time synchronization solution suitable for data centers, industrial automation, and telecommunications. By integrating a high-precision GNSS receiver and a highly stable clock (such as an OCXO or atomic clock), it achieves nanosecond-level time synchronization and reliable holdover performance. It supports multiple time reference sources (such as PPS and TOD) and provides time synchronization and interrupt signals to the host via a PCIe interface. Its FPGA architecture combines open source and proprietary IP cores, allowing for flexible customization and compatibility with time distribution protocols such as IEEE 1588 (PTP). The timing card provides effective security mechanisms to prevent GNSS interference and features a standardized PCIe slot for easy integration and deployment.
Applicable fields: scientific research measurement, communications, electricity, data centers, industrial automation, etc.
