Hi Dan, the CSAC has been discussed here a couple of months ago. I will use your post as a shameless plug of our CSAC GPSDO that we did in cooperation with Symmetricom, as we are now allowed to talk about the product. Here is a brochure, press release, user manual and other resources for the CSAC GPSDO: _http://www.jackson-labs.com/index.php/products/csac_ (http://www.jackson-labs.com/index.php/products/csac) We basically take the pain out of using the CSAC so the user doesn't have to worry about designing software, doing a PCB layout, building low-noise power supplies, configuring the GPS receiver, and building a signal distribution amplifier. We also take the edge of CSAC lead times. Basically you get a plug-and-play unit that requires very minimal design-in and works very well out of the box. Some advantages of the CSAC GPSDO compared to legacy oscillators: Temp range from -40C to +85C (hard to find in any competitive product) Cesium lock time of typically less than 60 seconds (ditto) Less than 1.4W power consumption, less than 0.15W for CSAC alone, 5V to 36V operation lower height than most oscillators (OCXO, Rb, etc etc) True atomic operation for holdover 50-channel GPS receiver with WAAS, Auto-Sensing of velocity for Kalman parameters, Auto-Survey Position-Hold mode feature, and -160dBm tracking capability Extremely low g-sensitivity Phase Noise post-filter, and 3-axis accelerometer
