1.3.5 EXTERNAL 10MHz INPUT/OUTPUT
10MHz Input
TTL/CMOS 45% To 55% Duty Cycle.
1.5 To 4 Volts Peak-To-Peak, AC coupled 2.5KHz impedance.
Note
: When an ovenized onboard oscillator is used, the external 10MHz input feature is
disabled. Instead the output of the ovenized oscillator appears on this pin. It can only
drive a single high impedance load.

1.5 FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
This section describes the functions provided by the bc635VME/bc350VXI Time and Frequency
Processor (TFP).
1.5.1 TIME
This function controls how the TFP card acquires and maintains time data. These functions
allow the user to select where to obtain time data, whether or not to manipulate the time data and
how to present the time data to the user system.
1.5.1.1 TIME SYNC MODE
This allows the user to select the operating mode (time source) of the TFP device. Available
modes are Time Code Decoding, Freerunning, External 1PPS, RTC & GPS (Optional).
