MCU supports precise timekeeping
The Imsys IM3240 MCU can sustain almost 20Mbit/s of IP dataflow while running the IEEE1588 protocol.
IEEE1588 in combination with GPS and the Imsys IM3240 MCU provides distributed systems with synchronised time at nanosecond accuracy This kind of accuracy used to require expensive cesium or rubidium clocks

The IM3200 network processor is designed to deliver a sustained TCP/IP throughput of 25Mbit/s over Ethernet while consuming less than 100mW.
IEEE1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is entering its second revision in March and is now finding its way into a variety of applications.
For each application there is a need for a timekeeper at large, the GrandMaster (GM).
The IM3240 takes advantage of the accuracy of the global positioning system (GPS).
The DK4-324 IM3240 development kit is all the customer needs to develop an application.
Connected to a GPS receiver with a pulse per second (PPS) signal, it will prototype a PTP GrandMaster very quickly.
All necessary hardware and software is included.
The small form factor and design quality of the Imsys platform enables a compact design.
The IM3240 is a dedicated controller for time-synchronised applications.
It can analyse and act on gate level in real time.
It can sustain almost 20Mbit/s of IP dataflow while running the IEEE1588 protocol.
IM3240 dramatically reduces the cost and size of time synchronisation.
The IM3240 module, part of the development kit, embeds a complete software platform including IEEE1588 protocol, real-time operating system, Flash file system, TCP/IP stack and FTP and web server.
