IEEE 1588 PTP

Stellaris® ARM® Cortex™-M3 MCUs featuring Hardware Assistance for IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)

The Stellaris® Family of ARM® Cortex™-M3 microcontrollers features a fully integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC/PHY augmented with hardware-assisted IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) capability, enabling synchronization of distributed real-time clocks in a packet-based multicast network. The benefits of a Stellaris-assisted IEEE 1588 PTP system include absolute time base, conventional and inexpensive network components, fault tolerance, self-configuration, hot-plugging capability, and a range of precision to fit the needs of a given industrial application.
