Hi, I have some Motorola K1516AA, 10MHz, VC-TXCO devices (date-coded 1988) but with only a basic pin-out diagram to their name and am wondering if anyone knows a little more about them. Specifically I'm concerned with the apparent high output-Z which means that a sniff of 'C' or a tad of loading drags down the output to a fraction of the off-load value. Unless they were made for a very specific purpose, this characteristic would seem to me as pointless. Also, by measurement and experimentation, I'm fairly sure that they don't use an open collector or emitter follower output port. They may work as a current source but I haven't gone that route as yet.
