IP Core Supports IEEE 1588 Clock Synchronization
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation announces its industrial Ethernet intellectual property (IP) core that implements an IEEE standard that is used for many industrial Ethernet applications to ensure that the various nodes in a network have synchronized real time clocks. The small footprint systems are easy to port, and they allow flexible options within a family of products. The system can be delivered as a standard IP core, or it can be programmed onto a LatticeXP or LatticeXP2 device. Each core implements a local high speed, high resolution clock which is attached to the MII (the interface between the physical layer IC and the MAC) via a so-called time stamping unit. All products are bundled with the respective PTP stack and driver software.
