If you mean the former Dallas series 32kHz things those are modules that contain a tuning fork crystal. They may look like a chip but in reality it's modules. And my clients would probably have my head examined if I placed a timing clock oscillator that costs several Dollars :-) -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

Besides, some Dallas/Maxim parts offer the ability to adjust the clock frequency digitally, so you can phase lock it to external signal. That's not too bad for few dollars. VLV |
