Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American G.I.

The cell runs just fine, but the circuits that drive it die. There are tables in the data sheets that pretty well document this. Since these gizmos already have been out in the field for a while, I need to get all the life I can out of them.

Why not get an eval board for one of the plethora of MMIC PLLs out there that has VCO, dividers, etc. all on one die. Heck, NS has a whole webbench application that will basically design the thing for you. On a related note... What about a GPS signal simulator..

Mine are dead and they will absolutely die. The mosteks are a known failure. If you can get me the images I will attempt to integrate them into a modern 27128 or something and do that install. I have had to do that on a couple of other types of HP gear. I also put copies of eproms on Diddiers site for everyone.

Amongst them was the fact that, on average, THREE PEOPLE A YEAR DIE FROM TESTING 9 VOLT BATTERIES ON THEIR TONGUES IN THE UK. I recently joined St John Ambulance as a volunteer and I would much rather not have to use my CPR skills on a fellow Time Nut. Please always think safety first.

Practically speaking 20kRad is a fairly decent dose (it's a typical design requirement for a trip to Mars or for GEO).. you pick up about a kRad/year In LEO it's a lot lower (otherwise astronauts in ISS would die). Around Jupiter it's a lot higher (typical design requirements for Europa missions and such are 1 MRad)
