OverviewThe CSAC-SA65 is a Chip Scale Atomic Clock designed for harsh environments where compact size, low power and high frequency stability are required. The unit delivers 10 MHz (square wave) output (configurable up to 16.4 MHz), a 1PPS output and a 1PPS input for synchronization. It is form-, fit- and function-compatible with the CSAC-SA.45s while providing improved environmental insensitivity and fast atomic-lock performance.
