What's a clever, simple, reliable (pick 2 of 3) way to get 16 MHz out of 10
MHz? Low phase noise isn't a big requirement and jitter doesn't need to be
sub-nanosecond. The main requirement is perfect cycle count accuracy. This is
for driving a 16 MHz microcontroller from a 10 MHz Rb/Cs/GPSDO. 10 MHz input
is likely sine; 16 MHz output is 3v3 or 5v CMOS.
There should be a PLL chip that includes the M and N dividers, but I'm not
familiar with that area.
Some/many ARM chips include PLLs so you can use a convenient Xtal and run the
CPU at a higher speed. You might look for low cost break out boards for an
SoC ARM. Remove their Xtal, feed your 10 MHz into the right pad. Program it
to setup one of the counter/timers to do the right divide.
