  • Page 13: Chapter 2. Installation

    POWER CONNECTION/FUSE/VOLTAGE The Microchip 8040C is powered from an AC source or optionally from a 24V DC source. The AC fuse is located inside the AC connector/filter on the rear panel. To change the fuse, open the cover on the rear panel AC connector by using a screw- driver on the connector’s cover slot.
  • Page 14: Output Signals

    The 1 PPS IN connector takes a 1 PPS input from an external source, such as a GPS receiver or Cesium frequency standard, which is then used to discipline the 8040C’s Rubidium oscillator. See Section 6.4 “Disciplining to External 1 PPS”.
  • Page 15: Chapter 3. Operation

    INDICATOR LEDS CAUTION Do not use the Microchip 8040C as a reference source until the LOCK indicator is turned on. The three LED indicators on the front panel provide a cursory view of the 8040C/8040CLN operating status.

    PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT Turn off the Microchip 8040C/8040CLN prior to shipment by removing the AC or DC power cord from the rear panel. Package the instrument in its original packing, if possible. If the original packing materials are not available, pack the unit in a reinforced cardboard carton using foam to take up any space inside the carton.

    Appendix B. Revised Information Due to Implementation of SA55 The 8040C/8040CLN internal rubidium reference changed from the SA22C to the SA55 per PCN00031. No specification parameters were changed to the 8040C; however, some of the functionality related to the SA22C Microsemi Serial Interface Protocol specified in the Microsemi SA22C User Guide could not be directly emulated (https://www.microsemi.com/document-portal/doc_down-...

The algorithm implements a high-resolution phase meter within the 8040C to automatically correct the phase and frequency relative to a reference 1 PPS input once per second with a resolution of 450 ps. The algorithm will simultaneously steer the phase and frequency to that of the external reference (1 PPS input), ultimately achieving accuracies of <1 ns and 1E-13, respectively,...
