This means that a clock can be out at any given moment, but overall it keeps time pretty well. If forced to create a 60Hz signal, I would rather create a 300Hz oscillator and phase lock it to the 50Hz. I would then divide it by 5 to give the 60Hz. My first choice would be to look at the 4046 PLL, rather than attempt to do this with a micro. Yes, that's a brilliant idea! And when a mains power blackout occurs a battery backed up crystal oscillator could stand in and deliver the clock. This would yield highest precision. Kai |
