The White Rabbit technology is an extension of Ethernet. It provides sub-nanosecond synchronization over 1 GbE Ethernet networks with timing and data transfers among its different elements in a fully deterministic way. The solution is part of the White Rabbit (WR) Project which is lead by CERN and follows an “Open Hardware” strategy. Furthermore, now White-Rabbit has evolved. It has been used as reference for the new High Accuracy profile of the IEEE-1588-2019 Precision Time Protocol. This provides not only new features but also enhanced interoperability and standard interfaces for the end users.
Our timing devices are used worldwide for the most exigent scientific facilities. The Timing System is based on the paradigm of Time-Triggering Control as an alternative to other Timing systems based on Event-triggering control framework. The event-based approach was the preferred solution in the past due to the lack of dependable and deterministic time transfer technologies. Now thanks to the White-Rabbit technology, a paradigm shift is possible, making available a much more feature-rich, flexible and higher performance Timing Systems for the next generation of most advanced Particle accelerators. Our solution is able not only to distribute time but also provided RF dissemination with very low jitter, distribute programmable trigger signals or timestamp any event at the same time than any kind of Ethernet data traffic is distributed over the network without impacting on the timing features.
FEATURES
- Subnanosecond and deterministic time transfer
- Subpicosecond phase noise frequency dissemination
- Very high scalability and large distance links support
- Data and time transfer over the same Ethernet optical fiber link
- Redundant network topologies supported for enhanced resilience against failures
- Programmable and low latency triggers with nanosecond resolution and subnanosecond precision
- From nanosecond to picosecond events timestamping
- No calibration needed
- Interoperable with other timing protocols and IEEE-1588 profiles for best-in-class deployment
- Friendly documentation, low level user-libraries as well as EPICS support
