♦
♦
Complete Hardware Support for IEEE 1588
Ordinary, Boundary, and Transparent Clocks
Flexible Block for Any 1588 Architecture
1588 Clock Hardware
The MAX24288 is a flexible, low-cost IEEE 1588
clock and timestamper with an SGMII or 1000BASE-X
serial interface and a parallel MII interface that can
be configured for GMII, RGMII, or 10/100 MII. The
device provides all required hardware support for
high-accuracy time and frequency synchronization
using the IEEE1588 Precision Time Protocol. In both
the transmit and receive directions 1588 packets are
identified and timestamped with high precision.
System software makes use of these timestamps to
determine the time offset between the system and its
timing master. Software can then correct any time
error by steering the device’s 1588 clock subsystem
appropriately. The device provides the necessary I/O
to time-synchronize with a 1588 master elsewhere in
the same system or to be the master to which slave
components can synchronize.

In addition, the MAX24288 is a full-featured, gigabit
parallel-to-serial MII converter. It provides full SGMII
revision 1.8 compliance and also interfaces directly to
1Gbps 1000BASE-X SFP optical modules.
