That's a good idea. That's one issue that I have with a 10-bit ADC common to many MCUs, is the
low voltage of 0.20 to 0.28 mV in the office.

That's a good idea. In fact, I saw that I have some DS1631 samples on the shelf.
I like that idea as that can be bit-banged by a simple, small MCU on same
board as the XO.

Thanks for the thoughts, Mark!
