Connor-Winfield’s GPS Disciplined
Oscillators (GPSDOs) were created specifically for
all precision timing and synchronization applications
requiring higher end, cost sensitive solutions. By
combining our uniquely designed GPS timing
receivers with our high-quality oscillators, Connor-
Winfield is able to offer a wide variety of superior,
cost-effective GPS timing solutions. The 125 Series
modules provide customer applications with the
precise timing capabilities needed to optimize critical
system performance.

General Description
The FTS250-010.0M Frequency and Time Standard module is a GPS driven, mixed-signal phase
lock loop, providing a 1 PPS CMOS output from a Connor-Winfield GPS timing receiver. The FTS250
generates a 10 MHz CMOS and a 10 MHz SINE output from an intrinsically low jitter voltage controlled
crystal oscillator. The FTS250 can lock to a 10 MHz reference derived from the on-board GPS receiver
or an external 10 MHz reference or to an external 1 PPS reference. Alarms are provided to indicate
Loss-of-Lock, Holdover, and Antenna Fault. The on-board GPS receiver requires an outdoor mounted
GPS antenna for the best stability and consistent performance.
The mode control inputs are used to manually switch between references and/or holdover. The user
application should monitor the alarm outputs and manually switch modes as needed.
Serial I/O lines provide access to the NMEA messages from the GPS receiver (referenced in the
Connor-Winfield’s Wi125 User Manual. Contact Connor-Winfield Sales for a copy). The serial I/O lines
can be used to access GPS timestamp information, or to verify that the receiver has recovered from an
alarm condition. The reset is used to reset the GPS receiver (if needed).
