Miniature Atomic Clock (MAC – SA5X)

SA53 & SA55

Miniature Atomic Clock (MAC - SA5X) Rubidium Oscillator, re-designed for improved stability and new features
MAC-SA5X

The MAC-SA5X is designed for applications that require long-term atomic oscillator stability, but are constrained by size and low power requirements.

Key Features

Versatile
Microchip’s next-generation MAC-SA5X miniaturized rubidium atomic clock produces a stable time and frequency reference that maintains a high degree of synchronization to a reference clock, such as a GNSS-derived signal, despite static g-forces or other factors. Its combination of low monthly drift rate, short-term stability and stability during temperature changes allow the device to maintain precise frequency and timing requirements during extended periods of holdover during GNSS outages or for applications where large rack-mount clocks are not possible.

Compact Design
Sharing an identical form factor with the Legacy MAC, measuring only 2 inch by 2 inch and standing less than an inch  - it is five times smaller than traditional lamp-based rubidium oscillators. Its pins allow it to be mounted to PCBA's.

Improved Operation
It has been designed for fast warm-up times in a variety of thermal environments, wider operational temperature range and improved stability performance.

Low Temperature Sensitivity
With a max frequency deviation of <5E-11 during large temperature changes, along with improved long-term drift rates, the MAC-SA5X is capable of sub-microsecond holdover for many days in variable environments.

Additional Features
1PPS Disciplining allows fast calibration to external references, such as GNSS-derived 1PPS signals. New software interface adds user-versatility, control and monitoring of the device via rs232 or USB communications pins.

RoHS Compliant

9611B-02

9611B Intelligent Switch and Distribution System
Support for multiple signal formats
Intelligent Distribution Amplifier
The 9611B switch and distribution system is an intelligent switching, monitoring and distribution system, packaged in a 1U rack-mount chassis.

The 9611B can be set up to distribute a wide range of signal formats; low noise sine waves, IRIG timecodes or pulse formats from either one of two inputs to all twelve outputs. The 9611B allows the user to deploy one model type to support multiple signaling formats which lowers support and logistics costs.

The 9611B provides for both manual and auto-switching signal distribution. When in auto-switching mode, the 9611 will detect any input or output failure based on the signal type being propagated. In the Auto mode, any input failure causes the unit to switch from Primary to Secondary source. Alarms will be indicated by all user interfaces including the front panel and Command Line Interface

Key Features

  • Supports multiple signal formats: IRIG time codes, pulse formats and low noise sine waves.
  • Enables redundant inputs: When in auto switching mode, it detects input failure and automatically switches to the redundant input without signal loss.
  • 12 outputs: Low noise, high isolation amplifiers allow for 12 copies of each input to be distributed without degradation of downstream equipment. This enables system designers to reliable distribute highly accurate RF time codes and 1pps signals.
  • Front panel controls: When one input fails an alarm will indicate such failure through the front panel controls and indicators.
  • Command line interface: The 9611B has a serial port interface that supports communication programs with a PC.
