Alternatives to the Miniature Atomic Clock
With the exception of current consumption, Vectron offers solutions with better or comparable
performance to existing miniature atomic clock solutions on the market today.
AR133
O
OX-171
Features:
• OX-171 operates over wider temperature range than
the current atomic clock’s range of -10°C TO +35°C
• OX-171 offers comparable yearly aging rate at a
fraction of the price
• OX-171 offers better phase noise and ADEV.
• OX-171 available in pin compatible version of
miniature atomic clock as OX-070 or with 1pps input
and output as MD-070.
Features:
• AR-133 operates over wider temperature range than
the current atomic clock’s range of -10°C TO +35°C
• AR-133 offers 10X improvement in aging performance
• AR-133 offers better phase noise and ADEV
