The objective of the wiki page is to provide an overview to user about Altera 1588 solution at a system level and positioning of Altera’s Ethernet MAC and PCS+PMA with 1588 hardware IP capable of time-stamping PTP packets with very high accuracy down to a few nanoseconds.
IEEE 1588 v2 (IEEE Standards Association, 2008) is standard that defines a precision timing protocol (PTP) used in packet networking to precisely synchronize the real time-of-day (ToD) clocks and frequency sources in a distributed system to a master ToD clock, which in turn is synchronized to a global clock source. With the advent of 1588 v2, it makes synchronization to the tune of nanoseconds within packet networks, enabling low-cost phase and frequency synchronization in applications such as wireless, mobile backhaul, wireline and industrial instrumentation potentially replacing the costlier TDM networks used for similar purposes. The 10M-10G Ethernet low-latency MAC and PCS+PMA (PHY) 1588 solution from Altera supports a static error of +/- 3ns across the throughputs of 10Gbps, 1Gbps & 100Mbps with the random error of +/- 1ns, +/- 2ns, and +/- 5ns from the PHY for the throughputs of 10Gbps, 1Gbps & 100Mbps respectively.
