Embedded Atomic Clocks (Frequency standards) 
Atomic physics sets the standard for stability, accuracy and range of applications in precision frequency reference clocks worldwide.

Our Rubidium, SAW and quartz oscillators support more military communications, satellite ground stations, and test and measurement applications than any other precision frequency references in the world. For example, Microsemi's Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) SA.45s, the world’s smallest commercial atomic oscillator, achieves historic breakthroughs in size, weight and power consumption makes it ideal for portable military applications.

Advanced research, cutting edge engineering and packaging, superior manufacturing, and integrated software design all result in precision frequency standards that deliver exceptional performance and unsurpassed accuracy, stability and reliability in the most challenging environments.

  • Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC)
  • Low Noise (LN-CSAC)
  • Miniature Rubidium Atomic Clock (MAC)
  • High Reliability Atomic Clock


Phase Noise and Allan Deviation Testers (Phase noise measurements) 
Microsemi’s digital, state-of-the-art test sets bring a paradigm shift to the way that phase noise and ADEV measurements are made. What was once a complicated and costly procedure has now been made easier, more accurate, and more cost effective.

Typically used to characterize high precision oscillators and atomic clocks, Microsemi’s test sets are simple one-box solutions that characterize even the lowest noise references more accurately than ever before.
