DescriptionSymmetricom bc635CPCI BC12063-1000 Time & Frequency Processor
OverviewSymmetricom’s bc635/637 CompactPCI receiver module provides precision time and frequency reference to the host computer system and peripheral data acquisition systems. Time is acquired from either the GPS satellites using a supplied antenna/receiver (bc637CPCI only) or from time code signals, typically IRIG B. Integration of the module is facilitated with optional drivers for Windows NT/2000/XP, Linux, Solaris and VxWorks. CompactPCI uses industry standard mechanical components and high-performance connector technologies to provide a system that is optimized for rugged applications.Central to the operation of the module is a disciplined 10 MHz oscillator and 100 nanosecond clock. Current time (days to 100 nanoseconds) can be accessed across the CPCI bus with zero latency, which allows for very high speed time requests. The oscillator is rate-matched (disciplined) to the input time source and drives the precision 10 MHz frequency output and time code generator circuitry. If time is lost, the module will continue to maintain time (flywheel). Both time code generation and translation are supported. The generator supplies IRIG B time code output that is synchronized to the input time source. The translator decodes IRIG A, IRIG B and NASA 36.An Event Time Capture feature provides a means of latching time for an event input. The module can also be programmed to generate a periodic pulse rate as well as to generate a single time strobe at a pre-determined time.
