There are many applications in which it is necessary to lock a remote clock signal to a central frequency source, and there are other applications which require the alignment of a clock to a central source of time. The ACS9521 uses DPSync packet timing technology to support both applications.
DPSync technology combines the IEEE 1588 v2 protocol with DAPU's patented packet delay filtering algorithms, which allow a reference clock to be transported across a packet switched network without special adaptations of switches or routers in the network. It is ideal for carrying timing across a legacy packet switched network. IEEE 1588 is often known as precision time protocol (PTP).
