MULTI-INTERFACE GPS TIME SYNCHRONIZATION

A time synchronizer receives UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) time in serial+PPS (Pulse Per Second) format from a GPS (Global Positioning System) device and outputs timestamp data in multiple formats, including: CAN (Controller Area Network), Ethernet, gPTP (generic Precision Time Protocol), and serial+PPS. Multiple data sources receive timestamp data in the multiple formats and each provide data in a unified UTC time base to a sensor-fusion device. The unified UTC time base is based on the timestamp data in the multiple formats output by the time synchronizer. The time synchronizer may perform edge detection for a first transition of an internal clock signal following a transition of the PPS signal received from the GPS device. The internal clock signal may be asynchronous with the PPS signal received from the GPS device. The internal clock signal may have a frequency of 40 MHz.
