Subject: [time-nuts] Thunderbolt Power Supply Question

The +12VDC supply (internal to the sealed oscillator) supplies both the =
oven
and the oscillator circuits. I think you'll find that internally this =
+12VDC
goes to the heater circuit as well as through a regulator to the =
oscillator
which is running on something like +7VDC. This is speculation at this =
point
but a number of similar type oscillators I've checked are set up this =
way
and even have a temperature compensated regulated reference voltage out =
of
about +7VDC to feed a pot or EFC circuit. For instance the HP 10811 has =
an
internal +5.7VDC regulated supply for the oscillator circuit

One crude way to check is to take a removed 10Mhz oscillator Trimble
oscillator and power it from a bench supply at +12 and let it stabilize.
Then reduce the supply voltage slowly and see where the output level =
and/or
frequency start to change. If you see no change until you've reduced the
voltage a few volts then the oscillator has an
 internal regulator for the oscillator circuit.=A0 =A0=20
