TimeServo is a sophisticated System Timer IP Core for FPGAs, providing high-resolution timing essential for line-rate independent packet timestamping. Its architecture allows seamless operation without the need for associated host processor interaction, leveraging a flexible PI-DPLL which utilizes an external 1 PPS signal, ensuring time precision and stability across applications.
Besides functioning as a standalone timing solution within an FPGA, TimeServo offers multi-output capabilities with up to 32 independent time domains. Each time output can be individually configured, supporting multiple timing formats, including Binary 48.32 and IEEE standards, which offer great flexibility for timing-sensitive applications.
TimeServo uniquely combines software control via an AXI interface with an internal, logically-heavy phase accumulator and Digital Phase Locked Loop mechanisms, achieving impressive jitter performance. Consequently, TimeServo serves as an unparalleled solution for network operators and developers requiring precise timing and synchronization in their systems.
