Agreed. The only tbolt cables attached, serial and PPS, ran around the edge of the room into a closet to the dead server. That same path also had a handful of cat-5 network cables, connected to now-dead network switch ports.


So if you do find the chips great.

I figure it's worth a try--the 10 MHz output is active, the GPS antenna wasn't hooked up, and the '202 and AC04 are cheap enough.

Yep, AC04 next to the PPS jack.


You may need to get in there and probe a bit. In my case, my bad RS232 driver was drawing about 350mA and getting VERY hot, VERY fast.

Mine also seems to be hot. Thanks for confirmation. I'll replace 'em both and cross my fingers.
