Description

The ADACSync is a 6U, cPCI, GPS-based, precision, low-jitter clock generator featuring:

12 buffered output channels
Five programmable clocks
The possibility of an external or onboard reference clock
A high-precision GPS reference clock option

These features make the ADACSync perfect in synchronizing multichannel system clocks.
The first programmable clock of the ADACSync (CLK0) is buffered and distributed to eight phased synchronous output channels, which allows synchronizing several digitizer boards or daisy chaining ADACSyncs for even more channels (with an external input clock). The four other independent programmable clocks (CLK1–CLK4) are independent, single-channel buffered outputs. CLK4’s delay can also be adjusted to perform precise phase adjustments.

The ADACSync is also equipped with a GPS module, providing a 10-MHz reference clock. An optional control-loop logic core allows the onboard 10-MHz VCxO to continuously and precisely match the GPS reference. This ensures very-low-jitter clock distribution and tight phase alignment to the GPS reference allowing, for example, several remote acquisition systems to be phased aligned (such as Lyrtech VHS-ADC/DAC boards). GPS position and time information can also be published through the GPIO-32 or cPCI interfaces for DAQ time/position-stamping
applications, which perfectly matches Lyrtech’s multichannel acquisition boards—the VHS-ADC, VHS-ADC, and ADACMaster III.
