[time-nuts] HP 5087A distribution amplifier

2013-06-07 Thread Gregory Muir
Just a note to say that a HP 5087A distribution amplifier arrived yesterday purchased from a seller on eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/300903865292). I initially emailed him requesting the option information on the unit or if he could give information as to what option modules are installed insid

Well you sent me on a search. I know virtually zip about ptp, but this page lists a few ethernet cards that allow time stamping. Is this the same as having a 1588 card? https://github.com/richardcochran/linuxptp-as/blob/master/README.org -Original Message- From: Doug Calvert Sender: ti

Since the actual crystal frequency appears to be 19.2 MHz rather than 19.5, my original suggestion of injection locking it would have to be modified. For example, you could divide the 10 MHz by 25 ( a single 74HC390 could do it) to make 400 kHz, so 19.2 MHz could sync to the 48th harmonic. Ed

I'm glad I asked this question. I was hoping to get ideas I'd never think of. It's going to be hard to beat that TI PLL chip especially because TI offers free samples. The injection idea seems almost like cheating. I might use part of the idea below to divide down 10MHz then inject that into the

List, Another hardware possibility.    Double the 10 MHz to 20 MHz.   With another circuit of 74HC390’s divide 10 MHz to 200 KHz.  Then double it twice to 800 KHz with LM 1496 DBM’s.  Apply the two frequencies to a LM 1496 DBM and use a LPF to get the 19.2 MHz.   Hardware complicated?  A bit.

Hi All of the MCU based 1588 interfaces I have seen allow you to "get at" the internal 1588 stamping clock. You can stuff your pps in there and compare it directly to the stamps it puts on the incoming and outgoing packets. If you are on an MCU, the 1588 clock can easily be the same as your CPU
