Attached is the circuit for a 1 bit phase detector. HCMOS should be perfectly adequate given that the flipflop is allowed several hundred millisec to settle before being read by the microprocessor. An RF transformer isolated clock shaper should be used to shape the OCXO output and avoid low frequency ground loops. You probably want at least a 2 output distribution amplifier (unless your OCXO has multiple isolated outputs eg FTS1200 OSA8607, some of the Wenzel OCXOs, etc.) to allow the OCXO output to be used for other applications as well. The position of the divider output transition is adjusted by the control algorithm with respect to the leading edge of the PPS signal so that the D flipflop Q has a 50% chance of being 1 when read by the microprocessor. The effective resolution is determined by the jitter of the leading edge of the PPS pulse. Bruce
