Abstract
To support different timestamp formats, for example, for different network protocols, an integrated circuit device is provided with a memory that is programmed with multiple instruction sets associated with multiple timestamp formats. Each of the instruction sets contains instructions to generate a timestamp according to a corresponding timestamp format. A compute circuit can generate a formatted timestamp by using a base timestamp input and executing an instruction set selected from the multiple instruction sets stored in the memory.
