Easily Integrate Position, Navigation and Timing Technology With Microchip's Portfolio of GNSS Disciplined Oscillator Modules
GlobeNewswire News Room· 2025-08-28 12:00
Core Insights - Microchip Technology has launched a portfolio of GNSS Disciplined Oscillator (GNSSDO) Modules that integrate advanced timing technologies for aerospace and defense applications, enhancing mission-critical accuracy and reliability [1][2]. Product Features - The GNSSDO modules process reference signals from GNSS or alternative clock sources, providing precise timing and stability for military and defense applications, including radar and satellite communications [2][3]. - The modules serve as PNT subsystems or stand-alone systems, featuring local oscillators engineered by Microchip, ensuring reliability [3]. - The MD-013 ULTRA CLEAN module supports multiple GNSS constellations and features ultra-low phase noise with specifications of −119 dBc/Hz at a 1 Hz offset and a noise floor of −165 dBc/Hz [7]. - The MD-300 module is designed for harsh environments, with a compact footprint of 1.5 × 2.5 inches, suitable for applications like drones [7]. - The LM-010 module provides precise timing for Low Earth Orbit applications, emphasizing radiation tolerance and stability [7]. Development and Support - Microchip provides VDOM3 software and GUI tools to assist developers in adjusting performance parameters and integrating GNSSDO modules into their systems [8]. - The MD-01X Evaluation Kit is available for easy connection and monitoring of the MD-01 series of GNSSDOs [8]. Availability - The GNSSDO modules are available for purchase in production quantities through Microchip sales representatives or authorized distributors [9].
