The IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol Standard is a powerful new approach to providing synchronization to Ethernet networks. This webinar explains how the standard works and presents detailed information on how to design a system using the DP83640 Precision PHYTER. The Precision PHYTER combines hardware level timestamp and synchronized clocking with a fast Ethernet controller. This solution delivers the highest precision synchronization while preserving choices for the hardware designer.

Upon completing this webinar, you should be able to:

• Introduce the IEEE 1588 Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) for synchronizing time over an Ethernet network
• Describe methods to develop products with IEEE 1588 PTP support
