SYNC8 Synchronization Hub
Twinleaf devices can be synchronized by distributing a clock to the sensors. The clock is distributed on a dedicated pair of wires using low voltage differential signaling (LVDS). Using the sync-in port, multiple SYNC devices can be chained to form arbitrarily large synchronized systems.
Features
- Synchronize 8 sensors (each port supplies sensor power, serial data, sync clock)
- ±200 ppb master oscillator stability over temperature range
- Operating temperature: −20 °C – +70 °C
- Volume: 78×43.5×123.5 mm³
- Power consumption: 850 mW
- Mass: 260 g
