I don't have a 8602 datasheet as such, but I have some 8602 related
specs as found in the extended OSA 3000 manual.
It is essentially the same AT-cut oscillator that you can expect from
the 8600 base.
Hmm.. IIRC AT cut oscillators have the "problem" of frequency jumps
on slight temperature changes. Using an AT cut oscillator thus kind
of defeats the effort of doing a BVA.
Frequency jumps isn't a particular feature of AT cut, but rather to
cleanness of the crystal and mechanical stresses. The BVA strategy aims
to reduce systematic shift, it is then baked out to remove residues that
is known to cause issues. There is a good article on it amongst the PTTI
papers. Also, it's an oven within a dewar flask, so temperature
conditions is pretty stable. The AT-cut BVA is far from the same thing
that a typical TTL-can AT-cut is. There seems to be an overbeleif in the
cut and not look at all the other things that needs to come together to
make a great oscillator.
What information are you really seeking?
What such an oscillator would be worth :-)
You might be aware that there is one 8602 on sale on ebay for 4500USD.
I asked Oscilloquartz about that and from what i gathered, it's definitly
not worth that money. For slightly more you can get a new 8607 already.
The 8602 worth is probably around 150 to 200USD.
That is overpriced. An OSA 8602 should have about the same price as OSA
8600, whatever the going price of that is.
Cheers.
