As we continue to introduce Space CSAC to the market, it is important to point out that while customers bring varying requirements when seeking an atomic reference for space missions, they share a curiosity about how the CSAC becomes a Space CSAC. Read more »
Initial phase and frequency errors an have a big impact on holdover performance. The CSAC’s unique 1PPS input can be utilized to eliminate these errors by employing proper disciplining. Read more »
The CSAC design is unique in that the physics is vacuum-packaged to eliminate convection/conduction effects. This enables CSAC to resist harsh thermal environments. Read more »
Here we explain how time error can be calculated from published aging rates. Given the CSACs small size and power consumption, the calculated holdover performance is impressive. Read more »
The chip-scale atomic clock (CSAC) is the world’s lowest-power, lowest-profile atomic clock. Thousands of units are deployed every year. But how does it perform in a rapidly changing thermal environment? Read more »
Microsemi has launched our SA.45s commercial space chip-scale atomic clock (CSAC), the industry’s first commercially available radiation-tolerant CSAC. Ideally suited for Read more »
In this third and final article in the series on chip scale atomic clocks, I’d like to share products that have leveraged CSAC’s key attributes and a conclusion. Read more »
Pairing Radiation Tolerance with the CSAC’s Low Power and High performance – brings the accuracy and stability of atomic clocks to Commercial Space applications.
