Zusammenfassung: | An apparatus includes components, a distributed timebase circuit, an interface and a Time Synchronization Circuit (TSC). The timebase circuit is configured to provide local timebases in physical proximity to the components, and synchronize the local timebases to a global timebase so as to provide a consistent time measurement. The interface is configured to be coupled to one or more devices. Transmissions on the interface are logically divided into a plurality of frames. Time on the interface is defined based on a frame number identifying a particular frame. The TSC is configured to capture a first timestamp based on the frame number corresponding to a point in time on the interface, and to concurrently capture a second timestamp based on a local timebase corresponding to the point in time, wherein the first timestamp and the second timestamp correlate time on the interface to the consistent time measurement. |
