Chip-scale atomic clock

13 April 2011 Electronics Technology

Symmetricom’s SA.45s chip-scale atomic clock (CSAC) provides the accuracy and stability of atomic clock technology while achieving reductions in size, weight and power consumption. The device is ideal for portable applications requiring precise synchronisation and timekeeping, especially in GPS-denied environments. It is 16 cc in volume, weighs 35 grams and requires only 115 mW of power. The atomic clock is small enough to be embedded directly on a circuit board, and is ideal for portable applications.
