Some of you have probably already heard of this new clock generator chip
from Si. News of a board with this chip from Adafruit just came up on a
local Amateur list today. A quick Google shows that some folks have used
this chip in homebrew SSB rigs.
My concern would be that when this chip generated frequencies that required
non-integer PLL ratios, that the jitter would be unacceptable for SSB use,
and even worse for CW.
As for the Adafruit board, they are using a crystal spec'ed for 30ppm
accuracy and stability. Not something I'd want to use in a radio. Perhaps
the "C" version of the chip, fed by a TCXO.
What do you think about the jitter issue?
