Global InformationHoldover in synchronization applications information
Two independent clocks, once synchronized, will walk away from one another without limit.[1] To have them display the same time it would be necessary to re-synchronize them at regular intervals. The period between synchronizations is referred to as holdover and performance under holdover relies on the quality of the reference oscillator, the PLL design, and the correction mechanisms employed.[2]
