High-accuracy external clock synchronizationcan only be achieved with adequate hardware support. We analyzethe requirements and present the specification and implementationof an ASIC running under the acronym UTCSU dedicated to thatpurpose. It is built around an elaborated local clock, whichis based on an adder driven by a fixed-frequency oscillator.This novel clock design allows a fine grained rate adjustabilityapt for maintaining both local time with linear continuous amortizationand accuracy information as needed in interval-based clock synchronization.Additional features incorporated in our UTCSU are facilitiesto timestamp clock synchronization data packets, interfaces tocouple GPS receivers, some application support as well as sophisticatedself-test machinery. Apart from addressing design and engineeringissues of the chip, we also provide a basic programming model.
