The syn1588® VIP Evaluation Board is a highly integrated single-chip IEEE1588 solution. Just connect the syn1588® VIP to the Ethernet network and receive highly accurate synchronized time or frequency.
The syn1588® VIP Evaluation Board is intended as test platform to verify the syn1588® technology - both IP core/hardware and software - in an embedded environment. Due to the nature of the embedded solution the memory as well as the computing ressources are limited. As a result a single PTP profile can be supported with a firmware version. The solution demonstrates a bare-metal implementation of a PTP node without any OS just using a simple light-weight IP stack.
The syn1588® VIP acts basically like a GPS receiver without the need for an antenna. It supplies a 1 PPS pulse and a NMEA compatible data stream on the serial interface (of course without positional data). In PTP master mode, syn1588® VIP can accept GPS data as input from the simple GPS receiver available onboard. Additionally, there is a fiber network interface available as well. For the audio/video broadcast community we added a video sync generation capability as well. The syn1588® VIP Evaluation Board Revision 3 may be used as a simple sync box. Connect it to the network and receive an accurately synchronized sync signal.

syn1588® VIP – Applications
Application: Distribute accurate time to embedded IEEE1588 slaves
The absolute time is distributed from an IEEE1588 grandmaster to embedded IEEE1588 slave nodes based on Oregano Systems‘ syn1588® VIP with an accuracy of 10 ns or better. The time information is locally used at the slave to generated synchronized frequencies or for generating pseudo GPS data.

Basically, this system acts as a distributed PLL.
Application: Implement an IEEE1588 grandmaster
A syn1588® VIP may act as an IEEE1588 Grandmaster on your network. The syn1588® VIP may synchronize its local hardware clock to an external absolute time reference like e.g. a GPS receiver.
