I am very fascinated by your blog and love the design and layout terribly much. I am going to come back back often to find out as a lot of as I can.

@WOV, “Symmetricom”–fixed. Thanks!

@Aleksandar, @Zombie, I’d love to see somebody out there on the interwebs plugging this clock into something cool soon. Let’s all keep our eyes peeled.

Symmetricom or Symmetricon? Text doesn’t match pic of chip….

Dan, what’s a Ham rig? Sounds delicious! Oh wait, it’s a reference to Ham radio, isn’t it? Nevermind. Still, now I’m hungry. Hungry for experimental ham.

Amazing, it makes me wish for a device that uses this precision time keeping piece. I think it won’t be long before microcomputers will incorporate this time keeping device as a standard time keeper instead of crystals. I could be wrong, but I do think if this is economical, it will replace crystals…

It could be the basis for a rock solid oscillator for an experimental Ham rig.

So… how long until some hackers assemble to create an open-source clock with this beauty at its heart? :)

According to the data sheet, its long term stability is about 1ms/month. Not too bad…

Looking at the datasheet, it would be really easy to hook up to a simple microcontroller prototyping board …
