Timing module keeps track with GPS
A NDK product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Aug 28, 2008
GPS-based embedded timing module is designed for integration into WiMAX, LTE and PHS basestations.
New from NDK, the NCR-46 embedded timing module incorporates a GPS receiver that will automatically track and receive signals from GPS satellites.
Once locked onto these signals it will deliver a highly precise 1pulse/s output aligned UTC (co-ordinated universal time) signal at 3.3V DC.
The NCR-46 also delivers a highly stable +/-0.02ppm three-channel 10MHz standard clock signal when locked on the GPS signal, and a time-of-day/GPS signal output.
In addition it features an RS232C management port to confirm conditions of the equipment and an open collector alarm output to indicate if a nonstable state exists.
The NCR-46 operates on a +12V DC +/-5% supply voltage drawing 10.5W at start up and 5W or less during stable state.
It measures 123.4 x 98 x 29.3mm and operates in a temperature range of -20 to +70C.
Applications for these modules include WiMAX, LTE (Long Term Evolution - 3.9G), and next generation PHS (Personal HandyPhone System) basestations.
"The NCR-46 is a timing synchronising module that engineers can drop right into their design".
"This will allow them to concentrate more time and effort on other functions of the basestation thus getting their products to market quicker", said Mike Walczak, President of NDK America.
Cost for the standard model NCR-46 is less than US $1000 and delivery is 8 to 12 weeks.
