Hey all,
I am looking for a schematic for a square wave oscillator capable of producing 10mhz, 5volt SQUARE waves...any ideas???
THX,
mike

Hi again,
Jwax, i found this at Digikey:
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSea ... -9167-5-ND
If that link doesnt work for some reason, the part number is the
number at the end after 'name=' so he can look that up i guess.
Not a bad price either, at $1.30 each.

What accurracy and stability do you require? What type mounting do you require? Try Mouser Cat.Pg. 769. These are half dip size and just plug and play. I have used these in the past and they perform nicely. Cheap too!
$1.30 Beats building one for 5.00 to 10.00

Thanks Jwax...
I was going to build one (looking for a schem), but for $1.30 why bother...

As alluded to, the only reason to build one from scratch is if you need better than XO accuracy. And TCXO accuracy isn't that much better than a non-temp compensated XO. For decent accuracy, you have to ovenize at least the crystal and for better accuracy yet you ovenize the crystal and the oscillator circuit and better yet, use a crystal cut for high-stability oscillators and better yet, put the XO's power supply circuit within the oven and ultimately, make sure the oven is proportionately-controlled and not on a BANG-BANG thermostat.
After that, you have to go the rubidium, cesium or GPS route for a stable signal.
