[time-nuts] eBay Giveaway Vectron OCXOs

[Peter Gottlieb]

A search of the Vectron site for OCO500 (which is on my unit) brings up 
a datasheet which references that as a "replaced" unit.

http://www.vectron.com/products/ocxo/c4550.pdf

Shows there are 5, 12 and 3.3 volt options.  I don't see where 4.8 volts 
is a reference output voltage, the closest is 5 volts with the 12 volt 
unit.  I would put the unit on a variable bench supply and slowly raise 
the input voltage to see where the reference stops increasing but I 
would hazard a guess that it is a 12 volt unit.  If you increase the 
supply to 5.5 etc then in that case you would see the reference stop 
increasing at 5.0.
