The IEEE Precision Time Protocol (IEEE Standard 1588) is a comprehensive solution to precise time synchronization between
nodes of a distributed system. Our synchronization appliance is a complete IEEE 1588 Ordinary Clock built using our
Embedded Advantage architecture and delivered in an industry standard PMC form factor module. It takes advantage of hard
core FPGA based processors running Linux, and soft task oriented co-processors for optimum IEEE 1588 time stamping
performance. Our synchronization appliance is complete: hardware, software, drivers, and OS. On power-up it searches for
an IEEE 1588 master clock and synchronizes to it. There is no simpler way to add IEEE 1588 functionality to a system.

EA1200 Customizable IEEE 1588 Ordinary Clock
EA1200 PMC Module:
Our Embedded Advantage Architecture builds on the strengths of the Linux operating system and Field Programmable Gate
Array (FPGA) technology to enable us to deliver full featured appliances for embedded systems. Our appliances are ideal for
implementing complex functions within an embedded system. We've optimized the design to yield small form factor,
reliable, low power devices. Black Brook Design soft appliances are easy to "plug in" to embedded systems because we
use standard hardware and software interfaces. The EA1200 is built on the PMC form factor.
