#AutonomousDriving#AI#MachineLearning

Solution Introduction

Time synchronization solutions are high-precision time synchronization technologies with wide applications in various fields, including telecommunications, power systems, transportation, and finance.

Time synchronization solutions utilize various communication protocols (such as PTP/gPTP) to ensure that devices, systems, or sensors within a network share a unified time standard. This enables precise collaborative work and data synchronization between devices in various fields, including industrial automation, smart manufacturing, and communication networks.

Solution Advantages

The time synchronization solution offers features such as stability, reliability, ease of use, and broad compatibility. By integrating GPS access, it achieves high-precision time synchronization.

■ GPS Precision Navigation System: Compatible with PPS/GPRMC signals, capable of acquiring precise GPS latitude and longitude positioning data.

■ Precise Time Synchronization Solution: Seamlessly integrates with PCIe acquisition cards, enabling combined PPS and CAN timing to ensure synchronization accuracy within 20 microseconds.

■ External Trigger and Multi-channel Synchronous Output: The system supports external trigger signal input and features frequency multiplication and division functions, capable of outputting 8 channels of trigger signals at different frequencies, ensuring synchronization accuracy within 200 nanoseconds.

■ PTP Master-Slave Mode Compatibility: Provides PTP/gPTP master-slave interfaces, supporting both PTP and gPTP timing protocols.

■ Flexible Time Synchronization Source Switching: Achieves convenient switching of synchronization time sources between GNSS and gPTP/PTP Slave via a DIP switch for PPS signal master-slave mode.
