Hi

That basic design (though maybe not this exact part) has been kicking around 
for at least the last ten 
years. Various people have popped up reselling it. There are a lot of older 
Rb’s that are in the <2x10^-11
range at 1 second:

The gotcha with the part seems to have been that it’s “big and power hungry” 
for the people who are looking 
at the CSAC and it’s “expensive and not so stable” for the people who are 
playing with the LPRO-101 or FE-5680
style parts.
