IEEE 1588 Solution Reference Design

This IEEE 1588 Solution demonstrates clock synchronization up to less than 50ns between Master and Slave to reconstruct accurate synchronization signals for 5G networks.

IEEE 1588 is a precise time protocol (PTP) system used to synchronize clocks in computer networks. In local area networks, it can control the clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems. With 5G coming, there are a large number of base stations and IoT devices that will require large-scale network synchronization. Renesas' 8A34002 synchronous timing device is designed for IEEE 1588 applications, and our clock recovery algorithms and precision timing devices reconstruct accurate synchronization signals for 5G networks.
