[time-nuts] Generating a solid PPS from 10Mhz source

[Bryan _]

Nick, can the Attiny25 divide down a 20Mhz input. I understand the 12fxxx pics max out at 20Mhz on a input so not sure if they would be suitable for my purpose. Can't seem to find anything in the datasheet for the tiny that explains the maximum frequency on a input pin.

My first application is to test different 10MHz oscillators without a TIC always attached and then compare the PPS output change over time against a master GPSDO PPS with an HP53132A.

I'm totally guessing that for this resolution, the PPS would have to be generated and accurate to within 0.001Hz every second.  If this is too difficult, maybe the integration time can be increased to generate one pulse every 10second or every 100,000,000.00 cycles?
