[time-nuts] Another "atomic" clock question

[Bob Camp]

Hi

With a “real” 12  to 13 bit ADC and a 200 ns TDC pulse you would ideally get  < 200 / 4096 as your LSB. Nothing like this is ever perfect, so you probably aren’t going to get <50 ps. You probably will be below 100 ps. That’s plenty good enough to make sawtooth correction useful.
