Microchip Launches Fully Integrated Precise Time Scale System

     Microchip Technology Inc announced the launch of a precise time scale system. This world-class time service system can be traced back to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) and does not rely on the global navigation satellite system, so that countries, institutions, key infrastructure operators and scientific laboratories have full control over the time source on which their infrastructure depends.

     The precise time scale system (PTSS) integrates several new time scale products into a turnkey solution, which can be used on a single rack and is guaranteed by a complete factory acceptance test (FAT) higher than the most stringent requirements. PTSS enables countries to independently and efficiently operate their own time scale systems within their own borders, and is consistent with UTC calculated by the International Bureau of Measurement (BIPM). The system also integrates SyncServer of Microchip  S600/S650 and TimeProvider  4100 time server, which can use Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Precise Time Protocol (PTP) to provide trusted time for key infrastructure ）。

     Randy Brudzinski, Vice President of Microchip's Frequency and Time System Business Department, said: "Microchip's precise time scale system provides a high-quality time source that can be used to back up or replace GNSS, and can be distributed through eLoran, IEEE 1588 optical fiber, two-way time transmission and other methods. By implementing autonomous time sources, a country can control and use time as a utility to protect key infrastructure, including transportation, financial sector, communication and power facilities."

     Or, for customers who build their own time scale system, they can separately purchase Microchip's time scale products to provide core time scale functions, such as clock measurement and clock group generation, as well as system management, monitoring and performance reporting. The modular design of the system enables timekeepers to purchase the system step by step within the budget and with the development of technology.
