Experience precision synchronisation with the OCP-TAP Timecard, whether you choose the Rubidium, Cesium, or Quartz OCXO option. Elevate your timekeeping capabilities and achieve a new level of precision in critical industries with this exceptional product.

Why OCP-TAP Timecard?

  • Community Driven

    Developed out of the OCP-TAP eco-system.

  • Deployed at Scale

    Design choice of Hyperscalers such as Meta

  • Modular Design

    Interchangeable Oscillators and GNSS modules

  • <200ns holdover

    Best in class holdover options with the Microchip MAC-SA55

  • 100% Open Source

    Everything is open from the FPGA to the PCB

What's the difference between editions?

  • Microchip MAC SA-53

    • Holdover < 300ns
    • < 5E-11 monthly aging (frequency drift per month)
    • < 5E-11 frequency change versus temperature change (-40 to +75 °C)
    • < 300 ns Holdover ability over 24 hours (typical, static temperature)
    • Remote monitoring and control (RS232 and USB)
    • 1 PPS disciplining from externally supplied signal (phase and frequency calibration)
