FireFly-1A GPS Disciplined Oscillator

FireFly™ is an extremely small Global Positioning System Disciplined Oscillator (GPSDO) that has very low power consumption, delivers long-term performance similar to Atomic Frequency Standards, and supports mobile and stationary applications.

At only 1.25 cubic inches in size, FireFly-1A provides Stratum-1 long-term performance of better than 10 parts per trillion (1E-11) averaged over 24 hours when locked to GPS at less than ½ the size of the smallest competitive products. The unit generates an OCXO-driven 1 PPS output that is phase-synchronized to better than 100 ns rms to UTC and a synchronized, low-noise +12 dBm, 10 MHz Sine-Wave Output. The FireFly is easy to integrate in any application requiring a stable and accurate reference clock and can be monitored and controlled by an RS-232 port via industry-standard SCPI Commands. FireFly has excellent phase noise, superior spurious suppression, and very low jitter at a power consumption of only 1.4 W typically.
