November 16, 2010 - IEEE 1588-2008 protocol software from IXXAT is available for the STM32Fx07 family from STMicroelectronics. These MCUs have an integrated IEEE 1588 hardware time stamping unit which allows the highly accurate synchronization of devices in a distributed network. On this base, an accuracy in the range of nanoseconds can be achieved.Typical applications are telecommunication, power management, measurement systems (e.g.
LXI), and audio/video transmission. IXXAT’s IEEE 1588-2008 protocol software is scalable and therefore allows an ideal adaptation to customer’s applications, offering an Ordinary or Transparent Clock, IPv4 or IPv6, or time stamping on Layer 2 or TCP/IP. Access to all features is provided by an easy to use API. Example software, comprehensive documentation, and a support and maintenance package allow for simple and fast integration of the IEEE 1588 functionality into customer’s devices.
