Low Noise CSAC (LN-CSAC)
Low Noise Chip Scale Atomic Clock
Overview
Pairing the lowest power atomic clock (CSAC) with the spectral purity of an OCXO has enabled an exceptionally stable oscillator.
The Microsemi LN-CSAC acts as a frequency and timing subsystem, while requiring limited size, weight, and power. It accepts a 1PPS input that may be used to synchronize the unit's 1PPS output to an external reference clock within ±100 ns accuracy or discipline its phase and frequency to within 1 ns and 1.0 × 10–12, respectively.

Software
The Microsemi "CSACdemo" software (Part # 084-00365-000) provides a convenient graphical user interface for monitoring and controlling the LN-CSAC. "CSACdemo" also is used for collecting and archiving monitor data from the LN-CSAC. It can be installed and run on any PC running Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 7 and having at least one available RS232 (COM) port. Note: Multiple LN-CSACs can be monitored from a single PC, provided additional COM ports are available.Parametric Search
