Abstract
A time synchronization device performs a time synchronization process with a device that provides first and second time values. The time synchronization device includes a packet processing circuit, a time counting circuit, and a processor. The packet processing circuit includes a timestamp counter having an N-bit length, and the packet processing circuit provides first to third time counting values. The processor calculates the first offset value based on the first and second time values and the first and second time counting values; calculates the first adjustment value based on the first offset value and the reciprocal of the frequency of the time counting circuit; calculates a second quotient value and a second remainder value based on the first adjustment value and the N-bit length; and calculates the receiving time of the second synchronization packet based on the N-bit length, the second quotient value, and the third time counting value.
