Microsemi SyncSystem 4380A -The Microsemi SyncSystem 4380A provides superior time and frequency performance in a highly configurable 1U rack-mountable package, building upon the successful 4370A DVB SyncSource. The combination of a high performance internal atomic oscillator and L1/L2 GPS receiver ensures accurate synchronization of the system with UTC (USNO) while still providing the excellent phase noise and short-term stability demanded by metrology, aerospace, communications, and defense applications.

Features

• Timing accuracy: < 10 ns RMS
• Frequency accuracy: < 1E-13 @ 1 day
• Phase noise: -110 dBc/Hz (1 Hz Offset)
• Holdover: 250 ns @ 1 day
• Network Time Protocol (NTPv4)
• Hot-swappable user output modules
• Redundant and hot-swappable power supplies
• SSHv2 Network Management Console
• L1/L2 GPS receiver mitigates effect of ionospheric delay changes and supports advanced GPS processing
• Remote software upgrades via network
• External frequency reference input enables augmented timing performance when higher stability frequency standard is available.

Single or Dual LVDS Digital I/O with Virtex-6 FPGA – 6U OpenVPX 57610 and 58610 – Models 57610 and 58610 are members of the Cobalt family of high-performance 6U OpenVPX boards based on the Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA. They consist of one or two Model 71610 XMC modules mounted on a VPX carrier board. Model 57610 is a 6U board with one Model 71610 module while the Model 58610 is a 6U board with two XMC modules rather than one. These models include one or two general-purpose connectors for application specific I/O.

Features

• 32 or 64 bits of LVDS digital I/O
• One or two LVDS clocks
• One or two LVDS data valid
• One or two LVDS data suspend
• Supports LXT and SXT Virtex-6 FPGAS
• One or two DMA controllers move data to and from system memory
• Up to 2 or 4 GB of DDR3
• PCI Express (Gen. 1 & 2) interface up to x8
• Optional user-configurable gigabit serial interface
• Optional LVDS connections to the Virtex-6 FPGA for custom I/O to the carrier board
• Ruggedized and conduction cooled versions available
