The HJ5447-PTP PCIe PTP Timing Card is a high-precision timing and synchronization solution designed for computer systems, servers, communication equipment, measurement instruments and other applications requiring accurate and stable time references.
The card integrates a high-performance IEEE 1588 PTP synchronization engine with a high-stability OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator). It receives PTP timing information through an Ethernet interface and uses the PTP reference to discipline the internal oscillator.
When the external PTP reference is temporarily unavailable, the integrated OCXO provides local holdover capability, allowing the card to continue supplying stable timing information to the host system.
The HJ5447-PTP provides high-precision timing outputs including 1PPS and TOD, making it suitable for telecom synchronization, broadcast systems, test and measurement equipment, industrial systems and other timing-critical applications.

The HJ5447-PTP receives precise timing information from a PTP Grandmaster or other IEEE 1588-compatible timing source through its Ethernet interface.
The integrated PTP processing unit evaluates the received timing reference and uses it to discipline the internal OCXO.
This provides the host system with a stable and accurate local timing reference while reducing the impact of temporary network timing interruptions.

10/100M Ethernet interface
Point-to-point synchronization accuracy: <300ns<>
Automatic synchronization to the external PTP reference
The integrated OCXO provides a stable local frequency reference for the timing card.
During temporary loss of the PTP synchronization signal, the card can continue operating using the internal high-stability oscillator.
This holdover capability helps maintain continuous timing availability for systems where uninterrupted time and frequency references are important.
