When I was working on military electronics in the 60s,
crystals in ovens often had octal sockets.
Inside the package there was a mechanical thermal switch
on an aluminium casing around the crystal with a heater
wrapped around it.
Two pins will be the crystal, there may be more than one shield,

I'm building my test board with a hex inverter that I'm actually using
to buffer the 1PPS signal
My search on Google did not turn up much, some pictures of james knights but
not the one you have and a note that at least one octal oven had the crystal on
pins 4 and 6.

Hi
Does anyone have or has anyone come across the Dallas TiNI evaluation
module (DS80C400) being used as a GPS-connected time server? I've found
references to something called 'tinitim', but whatever it was seems to
have gone away.
I just rather like the idea of an ultra-low power device that

That article was already cited here, and has a lot of inaccuracies.

The inverter is required because the Motorola GPS receiver uses TTL and
the PC serial port uses RS232.
RS232 uses a positive voltage of +3 to +25 volts to indicate a logic
zero, and a negative voltage of -3 to -25 volts to indicate a logic one.

Attached is a interface for an Oncore VP receiver. You will have to
check - I believe the GT and UT use the same connections as the VP.

Thanks Brian - that's pretty close to what I've come up with apart from
the fact that I'm putting isolation (TI IS
For isolation of digital signals such as RS-232 (before level translation),
it's hard to find something more amazing than the Analog Device ADuM5241
