PCI Express Clocks: Time Signal Receivers for the PCIe Bus

The ideal solution for accurate time synchronization for your server or workstation PC when space is limited in your server rack - the GPS183PEX is a 12-channel satellite receiver based on Meinberg's GPS technology, implemented as a (low-profile) PCI Express card. This PC clock has been engineered from the ground up specially for time and frequency synchronization applications. The GPS183PEX is designed to receive signals from the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) and allows the PC's clock to be accurately synchronized and high-precision, high-accuracy time & frequency signals to be generated anywhere in the world.

The GNS183PEX is a 72-channel multi-GNSS reference clock in a (low-profile) PCI Express format. Developed from the ground up specifically for time & frequency synchronization, the GNS183PEX receives signals from the GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and GLONASS constellations, enabling accurate synchronization of your PC's clock and the generation of high-precision, high-accuracy time & frequency signals anywhere in the world.

The board PZF180PEX is designed as a low profile board for computers with PCI Express interface. The rear slot cover integrates the antenna connector, a BNC connector for modulated time codes, a 9pin D_SUB male connector and two status LEDs. With this standard height bracket you can use the D_SUB connector for I/O signals like RS-232 - PPS and PPM and you can use this interface for firmware updates.

The PZF180PEX will be delivered with a low profile bracket. You can mount this part instead of the standard bracket, to run the PZF180PEX in computers with smaller housing (e.g. 1U server).

The TCR180PEX receives IRIG-A/B, IEEE 1344, IEEE C37.118 or AFNOR NF S87-500 time codes and can be used for synchronizing the system time of its host PC. The output of this card can generate an IRIG signal for other IRIG time code readers. The output format is independent from the incoming IRIG signal - a perfect solution to your IRIG conversion requirements.

The TCR180PEX-EL receives IRIG-A/B, IEEE 1344, IEEE C37.118 or AFNOR NF S87-500 time codes and can be used for synchronizing the system time of its host PC.
