The VPX Timing Clock offers a complete solution set for all PNT needs.  This highly ruggedized conduction cooled unit provides a versatile multifunction clock references for any environment.

This fully-defined, backplane-centric VPX module optionally supports either commercial GNSS receivers (i.e. U-Blox), or secure SAASM M-Code GPS receiver data along with external 1PPS UTC rollover references, reference clocks of up to 100MHz, as well as Amplitude Modulated (AM) or DC Level Shifted AM (DCLS) IRIG inputs as means of synchronization via the VITA 67.3C backplane RF connector.

The VPX Timing Clock also provides two (2) 1000BASE-KX Ethernet ports by default, with optional software upgrade to a much faster 10GBASE-KR.

The module provides NTP functionality (RFC 5905) with both server and client capabilities, and optional support for PTP (IEEE 1588-2008).

In its default configuration, the VPX Time Clock employs a highly stable VCXO to serve the backplane with multiple (11+11) coherent disciplined clocks aligned with PPS pairs.

These radial clocks have a maximum group skew of ±25 picosecond between pairs, while the PPS inputs to outputs phase alignment is maintained within ±10ns.  Furthermore, each clock phase can be further tuned within ±25 picoseconds to calibrate for module radial clock routing.

The module can be optionally configured with an HSOCXO or CSAC to further enhanced holdover accuracy while operating in reference-deprived environments.  As an added feature the raw GNSS data can be logged or distributed via multicast from the module for downstream processing.

To facilitate a higher level of integration, selected 3^rd party Linux applications can also be installed on the file-system for concurrent execution with the system main software.

The module provides a comprehensive Health and Management monitoring system alongside status and configuration of the module via gRPC over HTTP via Ethernet or for RS-232 console access.
