Yes, exactly. But the CSAC is marketed for a small niche, both given its price and that at least until fairly recently they couldn't (and I'm assuming still today can't) make that many. Small like (or smaller than) an OCXO, but with better stability and much lower power use. For a higher price. If one plotted ADEV/W I recon it would turn out a great performer. ADEV/USD and it wouldn't fare as well. I did go as far as asking for a quote from a Symmetricom rep. last year with a wrist watch project in mind. Put that project on the shelf when I got the quote back.:) Great to see someone with deeper pockets and more dedication made it happen!
