Microsemi Introduces SyncSystem 4380A Master Timing Reference with Highest Levels of Accuracy and Performance at ION GNSS+ ConferenceALISO VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today announced a new high performance precise time and frequency product, the SyncSystem 4380A Master Timing Reference, for use in metrology, defense, communications, aerospace and other applications where performance and reliability are vital. The device is particularly well-suited for applications requiring accurate synchronization as well as repeatable timing performance which demand the highest levels of reliability. "The SyncSystem 4380A delivers metrology-grade time and frequency performance in a highly configurable 1U rack-mountable package," said Sri Purisai, manager of Microsemi's synchronization business unit. "Building upon the legacy of Microsemi's 4370A, the 4380A has been enhanced with high performance components and advanced algorithms to deliver a world-class timing reference that will address our customers' most stringent performance requirements, now and for many years to come." World-Class Timing Performance Included with the standard 4380A is an L1/L2 GPS antenna that enables the system to precisely locate its antenna position with millimeter-level accuracy. This is accomplished by using the auto-survey mode of the 4380A to generate a RINEX observation file that can be uploaded to online processing utilities to provide a differential GPS solution for the position of the antenna. The same technique is used to precisely track plate-tectonic movements of the Earth. This attention to detail is critical in guaranteeing system performance of <10 ns RMS because the largest error contributor is the calibration bias (which includes errors in antenna position). Configurable and Scalable Although the 4380A already employs an internal rubidium oscillator, the standard 4380A also has the ability to use an external frequency reference (e.g., 5071A, MHM 2010) when available. This further enhances the performance of the 4380A without requiring additional upgrades. Key Features
