[ARC5] Fwd: More old osc posts

[David Stinson]

Hi, Hue.  About putting these oscillators in tight places:
While working on the Alaska BLM Forestry transceiver,
I fitted one of the small 8-pin chips inside an FT-243 holder
for a receive channel crystal slot.


The holder had the chip, power wires, and a DC blocking
cap on the output pin.  One of the little DC-DC converters
dropped the 12 VDC down to 6.5 (those chips were speced
for VCC to 7 volts and I wanted the extra output.  I don't think
current ones can be "over-volted").


Those DC-DC converters can now be as small as a nickel and less noisy.
You can run several oscillators on one DC-DC.
Here's half a dozen for ten bucks:
