[time-nuts] 10 MHz -> 16 MHz clock multiplier

Tom,

my 50 cents are: Use a 1 Euro expensive ICS503 in a SOIC package to generate
a 160 MHz signal from the 10 MHz without further components needed (except
one c on the VCC and one on the input) and then divide by 10. Expect a 50 ps
one sigma jitter on the output. You MUST use capacitive coupling with an
external oscillator. Easily breadboarded! Have used such a configuration to
generate phase locked clock signals for older FPGAs without internal clock
generation.

Best regards
Ulrich
