[time-nuts] 10 MHz -> 16 MHz

Hi

If the device is attaching to a micro controller (as in the original request), feeding it a few 
bits to get it set up may not add any parts at all. No, that’s not a certainty, but it usually 
is a pretty good guess. Most micro’s these days will start up on an internal clock source so
even the “what to use at time zero” issue is taken care of.

Start with an AC14 ST, followed by a divide by 5. I used part of a HC390 but a LS 90 will do. Take the 2 MHz output feed the input of the 570 and select 16X out comes 32 and 16 MHz. Material cost less than $ 5 regulator included.
