We know what a OCXO is and a TCXO is.  I was at a presentation at work a
whike back and they called what you describe a "MPCXO"  or MicroProcessor
Compensated XO.    They said the characteristics were between the OCXO and
TCXO

Doesn't the thunderbolt do this.  I think it watches the aging rate of the
OCXO and adjusts during hold over.
