Synchronization Management Unit (SMU) for IEEE 1588 and Synchronous Ethernet

The 82P33813 Synchronization Management Unit (SMU) provides tools to manage timing references, clock sources, and timing paths for IEEE 1588/Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) based clocks. The device supports up to three independent timing paths that control: PTP clock synthesis; SyncE clock generation; and general-purpose frequency translation. It supports physical layer timing with Digital PLLs (DPLLs) and it supports packet-based timing with Digitally Controlled Oscillators (DCOs). Input-to-input, input-to-output and output-to-output phase skew can all be precisely managed. The device outputs low-jitter clocks that can directly synchronize lower-rate Ethernet interfaces; as well as CPRI/OBSAI, SONET/SDH, and PDH interfaces and IEEE 1588 Time Stamp Units (TSUs).
