[time-nuts] Synchronisizing a 100MHz TCXO with Tbold, pse help

[Tom Van Baak]

Peter,

How closely locked to GPS time or frequency does your
TCXO need to be?

Would it be possible for your application to let the 100 MHz
TCXO free-run? Then you could use one or two of the ADC
channels to sample the TBolt 10 MHz and 1PPS leaving all
the rest of the channels to do real work.

This would then give you all the information you need to apply
phase adjustments to your ADC readings as an after-the-fact
software correction. Essentially you get all the benefits of GPS
time tagging and accurate reference frequency along with the
low jitter of your TCXO but without any of the additive noise of
a hardware PLL.
