The last time I actually looked (it was a while ago), it looked reasonable as 
closely as I could look, but the ADC resolution is something like 1mV per LSB, 
and I’m not sure I looked that closely.

I dunno about a “normal” one… This one is the one I got from Jim Harman. The 
phase difference between the divided-by-10 output and PPS goes through a diode, 
JFET and then an RC (with a much higher discharge resistor).

As long as you sample at least 1 µs after the PPS (and it takes at least that 
long to get into the ISR anyway), it *ought* to be stable for dozens of µs.

That’s kind of why I’m going down the road of multiple samples - to see if 
there’s anything to it.
