Abstract: A baseline difference is determined between a slave line card time stamp corresponding to a slave line card frame sync signal and a master line card time stamp corresponding to a master line card frame sync signal. The slave line card generates subsequent slave line card time stamps for subsequent slave line card frame sync signals and the master line card generates subsequent master line card time stamps for subsequent master line card frame sync signals. Current differences are determined between subsequent slave line card time stamps and the subsequent master line card time stamps and the current differences are compared to the baseline difference. When a mismatch difference occurs (current difference differs from the baseline difference), the mismatch difference causes a phase-locked loop in the master line card to be adjusted or an offset to be provided to the master line card time of day counter.

Abstract: A one pedal driving system for an electric vehicle including one or more electric motors includes a controller in wireless communication with one or more external vehicle networks. The controller executes instructions to receive, from the one or more external vehicle networks, an active zone notification that indicates the electric vehicle is traveling into a one pedal driving zone.

The controller executes instructions to receive a pedal notification that a driver foot is removed from an accelerator pedal of the electric vehicle. In response to receiving the active zone notification and the pedal notification, the controller instructs the electric vehicle to decelerate from the initial speed by a regenerative braking torque that is created by the one or more electric motors to counteract a forward momentum of the electric vehicle.
