IPC1

The IPC1 clock module is designed for distributing and recovering high quality clock over packet networks. It is an application agnostic, cost effective, reliable, and standard compliant synchronization solution for applications requiring high-performance synchronization. The module implements a state-of-the-art clock-estimation algorithms suite with performance proved to be reaching the theoretical bound. The IPC1 clock module is a stand-alone module with no external components required; with the intent to shorten development and integration time. The module can operate either in MASTER mode, distributing the clock source over the packet network, or in SLAVE mode, recovering the clock source from the incoming packet stream. The IPC1 clock module is designed for easy field upgrades to support emerging standards like IEEE1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), ITU-T G.8261 and Circuit Emulation protocols.
