5071A Cesium Standard

The Microchip 5071A is precise, stable, and capable of delivering extremely predictable time and phase over long periods, meeting the needs of leading metrology and calibration laboratories.

When used with GPS systems, the 5071A provides integration features as a master clock for telecommunications, satellite communications, and navigation systems.

Thanks to its 30-day averaging interval stability specification, it maintains time and phase with exceptional predictability.

Combined with a GPS timing receiver, the 5071A primary frequency standard forms a highly robust, cost-effective, and redundant frequency and time reference system.
