Good stuff coming down the pipe,
I looked at the Mems/Si technology and the phase noise, thermal stability,
and jitter specs are orders of magnitude higher than what we would like to see
here on Time Nuts.
I think Quartz is going to be the king of the hill for some time to come due
to it's Q (>1E+06)... Having programmability and vibration insensitivity is
nice though, and for most high-volume applications these parts will do just
fine and reduce cost, sensitivity, and size. Then again for high-volume
consumer electronics you always want to have an alternate vendor, and these are not
entrenched and proven companies yet..
What get's me very excited is the fact that CSACs may be coming down the
pipe soon.
bye,
Said
