Now that many of us have a nice 10Mhz reference courtesy of TAPR, I was wondering if there was any way to use that to build a precise voltage or resistance standard?
I've got once of those high precision standard resistors with a sticker on it noting the actual measured resistance. Is it still accurate? Who knows? As well, I have a +5v reference that uses an Analog Devices precision reference chip as its source. I have more faith that this reference is correct within the tolerances specified in the datasheet. Now if I could somehow take that frequency reference and derive a voltage standard or the like, I'd be in business. But I can't think of a way that wouldn't require calibration of some sort, and if I had the means to calibrate, I wouldn't need the standard in the first place. Any voltage-nuts or resistance-nuts out there?
