Good stuff coming down the pipe, I looked at the Mems/Si technology and the phase noise, thermal stability, and jitter specs are orders of magnitude higher than what we would like to see here on Time Nuts. I think Quartz is going to be the king of the hill for some time to come due to it's Q (>1E+06)... Having programmability and vibration insensitivity is nice though, and for most high-volume applications these parts will do just fine and reduce cost, sensitivity, and size. Then again for high-volume consumer electronics you always want to have an alternate vendor, and these are not entrenched and proven companies yet.. What get's me very excited is the fact that CSACs may be coming down the pipe soon. bye, Said In a message dated 2/25/2009 10:30:33 Pacific Standard Time, t...@leapsecond.com writes:
