[time-nuts] Piezo Company OXCO pinouts (William Rice)

[Richard H McCorkle]

Hi Steve,

Not knowing the rated voltage of the unit I took the overly cautious
approach of slowly increasing the supply voltage until the frequency
first stabilized when varying the voltage over a small range. The unit
stabilized at approximately 10.8v (12v - 10%) so I specified 12v as
the lower limit of the input voltage required. The internal regulator
will run cooler and the oven will draw more current and take longer
to stabilize at the low end of the usable voltage range.
  I didn't test for the maximum voltage as this could turn into a
destructive test if not done properly. I would suspect the internal
regulator can handle input voltages greater than 26.4v (24v + 10%)
safely so the unit could be specified at 24v +/- 10% in the Lucent
application it was designed for. The higher voltage would speed oven
response to changing temperature and reduce the warm-up time.

Regards,
Richard
