Precision Time Synchronization & Frequency Translation

From GNSS and 1 PPS synchronization through holdover, clock generation and frequency translation.

Connor-Winfield timing solutions convert precision time and frequency references into stable, low-noise clock outputs. Choose integrated GNSS timing, external 1 PPS time-to-frequency conversion, high-stability OCXO-based synchronization, or clock-to-clock frequency translation and jitter attenuation.

Start With the Reference Available in Your System

GNSS → 1 PPS + PRECISION TIMING

I Need to Generate a 1 PPS Reference

Select this solution if your system lacks a GNSS timing receiver. Our integrated modules receive satellite timing to generate a 1 PPS timing reference and disciplined frequency outputs via local precision oscillators.

  • CW30
1 PPS → Precision Frequency

I Already Have 1 PPS

For systems with an existing 1 PPS source. These modules discipline local TCXOs or OCXOs to the external reference, providing stable frequency outputs and holdover performance during reference loss.

PRECISION CLOCK → REQUIRED OUTPUTS

I Have a Precision Clock

For applications with a dedicated frequency reference. Our translation and jitter-attenuation solutions clean incoming clocks and generate specific frequencies for hardware performance.

Integrated GNSS Timing

CW25-GDO / CW25-TIM

Integrated receiver and disciplined-oscillator solutions for synchronized 1 PPS and frequency generation with precision holdover.

CW30

Integrated receiver and disciplined-oscillator solutions for synchronized 1 PPS and frequency generation with high-stability holdover.

1 PPS Synchronization & Time-to-Frequency Conversion

BTFC Series

Compact TCXO-based module for converting external 1 PPS references into synchronized frequency outcomes with holdover.

EH320/EH321 TFC Series

Compact OCXO-based time-to-frequency converter providing synchronized frequency and regenerated 1 PPS outputs from an external 1 PPS reference, with precision local-oscillator holdover when the reference is lost.

FT9-TFC Series

Ultra-compact module for converting an external 1 PPS reference into synchronized frequency with automatic precision holdover.

FOR EMBEDDED / OEM DESIGNS

NS3D02 Embedded Timing IC

Embedded timing IC for converting an external 1 PPS reference into synchronized frequency and regenerated 1 PPS outputs. Designed for OEM timing architectures using an external precision oscillator for phase-noise performance and holdover.

Build Synchronization Into Your Own Timing Architecture

For customers developing their own timing subsystem, the NS3D02 combines an external 1 PPS timing reference with a stable local master clock (MCLK). A precision TCXO or OCXO can provide the MCLK timebase used for synchronization and holdover, while the NS3D02’s numerical and analog PLL architecture controls an external VCXO to generate a low-jitter synchronized frequency output. The device also provides regenerated 1 PPS timing outputs.

Frequency Translation & Jitter Attenuation

Once a precision reference is established, Connor-Winfield frequency translation and clock-conditioning products can generate the clock frequencies required by the system while preserving low-jitter performance.

FT9-P

Frequency translation and jitter attenuation controller platform for precise clock generation in high-noise environments.

DOTP / DOXP Series

Dedicated stability-focused clock references for frequency-translation architectures, available in TCXO and OCXO tiers.

NF1011

Low-jitter clock multiplier and translator, optimized for high-performance timing recovery and distribution.
