I am thinking of buying a CSAC plus evaluation board.
Eventually I might want to make it portable. Any suggestions including
where to buy it?
MicroSemi is the manufacturer - Find a distributor and order it.
For instance, Digikey has the CSAC ($5312.50) and the eval board ($928.75)
portable isn't a problem - just run it off batteries.
It's pretty easy to hook up - power, 1pps in and out and 10 MHz out
(they have versions that put out 5, 10.24, and 16.384 MHz too).
A serial port to control the device
The eval board has SMA connectors, a sub-d for the serial port, and
comes with a wall wart to run it.
Download the Microsemi CSAC UserGuide for more info
you can fool with the disciplining algorithm, etc.
It's a low power device compared to a OCXO (<120mW)
They're a pretty nifty device, even if the price more than tripled in
the last couple years.
Jackson Labs makes some integrated systems using CSAC, I believe.
