Microchip's Precise Time Scale System (PTSS) is a fully integrated, world-class timing system capable of providing timing accuracies comparable to the world’s best national laboratories. It can combine up to eight high-performance cesium frequency standards or active hydrogen masers into a time scale that generates multiple signal outputs that can be distributed in a wide variety of formats. The PTSS often serves as the backbone for critical national infrastructure and as an authoritative time source for contribution to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Benefits
- Turnkey time scale solution with a highly robust and resilient architecture
- Combines multiple cesium frequency standards or active hydrogen masers into a time scale
- System integration and factory acceptance testing are included to ensure highest level of performance
Features
- Fully integrated system capable of combining two to eight different types of clocks into a single time scale
- Multi-channel measurement system to provide clock time differences
- Ensemble and time scale algorithms to combine the clocks into one output
- Local realization of UTC and contribution to worldwide UTC calculated by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM)
- Distribution of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 1 PPS, TOD, IRIG-B clock signals and packet timing including Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
- Measurements can be archived in a database for analytics
- User Interface to provide integrated system command and control
- Automatic generation of BIPM reports (clock, common view and TAIPPP)
Target applications
Traditional metrology labs, site timing systems for satellite or related communications and national timing infrastructure
