Real Time Ethernet Synchronization Using the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)

The IEEE 1588 precision time protocol (PTP) allows designers to synchronize slave clocks to a master clock over Ethernet. By using the same time base for all events and timestamps, networked devices can be synchronized with exceptional precision. The DP83640 Precision PHYTER device from National Semiconductor delivers the highest ...
