Overview
ITM is an IRIG 200-04 compliant time synchronization master / time transmitter for FPGA. This IRIG-B master / time transmitter IP has been designed to support multiple IRIG-B coded expressions as well as DCLS modulation in order to provide maximum flexibility.
ITM can be configured to support the most extended IRIG-B time codes to provide higher compatibility with the majority of IRIG-B slaves / time receivers in the market. This configuration can be done before implementing the IP by selecting the desired modulation type, carrier frequency, coded expression and other parameters in the FPGA design tool as well as during runtime using register based configuration.
It has been designed as a hardware-only (VHDL) IP Core. No microprocessor or software is required in order to reduce integration complexity.

Technical Specifications
Time Synchronization
- IRIG 200-04 compliant time synchronization master
- Support for DCLS modulation
- Output type (IRIG-B time code) configurable both before implementation and on the fly
- High accuracy 64-bit internal timer architecture that allows IRIG-B slaves to synchronize to the master in the range of nanoseconds

Management & Monitoring
- AXI4-Lite or UART management interfaces to access control registers (selectable at synthesis time)
Technical Support, Verification & Deliverables
Technical Support
IP Licenses are provided along with a Technical Support package that ensures a direct communication channel with our highly experienced support engineers. This is vastly valued during customer product development & integration phases.
Verification
All our IP Cores are rigorously tested, hardware-validated and verified in real-life environments. A 3-phase based IP product verification is applied:
- Entity/Block-oriented simulation
- Global-oriented simulation
- In-hardware validation
Deliverables
- Encrypted/Source RTL code
- Documentation (IP Core datasheet)
- (Optional) AMD Vivado™ design suite example design
