Nigel,
Yes, you understood and answered the question.
Thank you
Don O
I don't know if I've misunderstood your question, but as I understand it
the voltage reference output is a fixed voltage from an internal regulator
that can then be used as the supply to an external control circuit.
For example, it could be used as the feed voltage for a variable resistor
that has its wiper connected to the EFC input to allow for manual frequency
adjustment.
When some other form of external control is used, such as a DAC output for
example, it's not uncommon to find the voltage reference output left
disconnected and the control circuit fed from an alternative supply.
Regards
Nigel

Hello all,
Most voltage controlled XOs have a voltage reference output. Is it
necessary for the DAC output / frequency control input, to track this voltage
reference output?
