Spacecraft timing systems must provide highly stable, precise signals for navigation, communications, and scientific instruments, even when GNSS signals are weak or unavailable. Designers often rely on multiple oscillators and buffers to supply precise frequencies to various subsystems, adding size, mass, and complexity. Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) announces the space-grade DSA504RT , a radiation-tolerant, six-output programmable clock generator designed to address the complex timing needs of aerospace and defense applications.
