SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Symmetricom®, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise time and frequency
technologies, today announced that the recently-released SA.45s
Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) is now available with new frequency
output options. Introduced in January, the SA.45s CSAC is the first
commercially available chip scale atomic clock, enabling portable
applications requiring precise synchronization and time keeping in
GPS-denied environments.

Symmetricom has developed the 16.384 MHz and 10.24 MHz output
versions of the SA.45s CSAC to support the application needs of its
expanding customer base and to address a wider range of the
oscillator market. The new frequencies make it much easier for the
makers of specialized sensors to integrate the SA.45s into their
existing sensor designs. The full specifications for new
options can be found at
http://www.symmetricom.com/products/quantum-atomic-oscillators/chip-scale-atomic-clock-csac/SA.45s-CSAC/.
The SA.45s CSAC is only 16cc in volume, weighs only 35 grams and
draws a mere 120mW of power. It brings autonomous, reliable
timekeeping to applications for which an atomic clock would not
have previously been considered due to space and/or power
constraints. Example applications include dismounted IED
jammers, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), next-generation man-pack
radios, military handheld GPS units, and geophysical sensors.
Symmetricom is continuing to invest in the technology behind the
SA.45s CSAC, and the announcement of new output frequencies is only
the most recent example of this. Other examples include the
previously announced Tactical Grade Atomic Clock (TGAC) and ManTech
programs.
Symmetricom timing experts will be exhibiting at the Institute
for Navigation conference, ION GNSSS, September 21-23, Booth #801/803 and will feature
a live SA.45s CSAC demonstration. The demonstration will
measure the accuracy, stability and exceptional performance in a
small form factor. Symmetricom's comprehensive portfolio of timing
& frequency solutions will also be on display at ION GNSS.
About the SA.45s Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC)
Symmetricom's SA.45s CSAC is the world's first commercially
available chip scale atomic clock, providing the accuracy and
stability of atomic clock technology while achieving true
breakthroughs in reduced size, weight and power consumption
(16cm3 volume, 35g weight, 120mW power consumption).
