Clock Drift Without GPS/GLONASS Synchronization

Temperature Clock Drift
+20°C ±5 ppm
-40°C ~ +85°C ±10 ppm

Clock Drift After GPS/GLONASS Synchronization

When the SM5 synchronizes with GPS/GLONASS non-continuously, it calibrates the real-time clock to minimize clock drift at a given temperature. This calibration setting is maintained until the next time the SM5 synchronizes with GPS/GLONASS or until the backup clock battery is removed.

Temperature Clock Drift
Temperature maintained during and after calibration ±1 ppm
-40°C ~ +85°C ±6 ppm

Clock Error During Continuous GPS/GLONASS Synchronization

Maximum clock error while synchronized (typical) 30 μs + 1/(Sample rate)

The maximum timing error of each audio sample is partially dependent on the recorded sample rate. For example, at a sample rate of 24 kHz, the total error is 30 μs + (1/24,000) s = 72 μs.
