Various embodiments permit software-based transmit or receive configuration of a time-synchronization device and do not require a user to manually change transmit or receive cables attached to the time-synchronization device.
Various embodiments support a voltage shift of a wide range of input signal voltage amplitudes (e.g., 1.65V to 5.5V or other ranges) by software-based control and without requiring manual configuration for the voltage shift.
Accordingly, various embodiments can be used with a network interface or systems that require high precision receipt or transmission of time-stamped signals, such as time-stamped signals compatible with IEEE 1588 (2008). For example, time-stamped signal can include Sync, Delay_Req, Pdelay_Req, and Pdelay_Resp messages of IEEE 1588 (2008) and IEEE 802.1AS (2011).
