Hi
Looking at the data sheet for the MCU, they really do want 24 MHz and that’s 
about it. I suspect you would
do better to take your 10 MHz OCXO and run it into one of the frequency 
converter chips to get the 24.
Then feed that into the board. One more chip, but you now don’t have a bunch of 
stuff to hack up.


Yeah.. you can spin the dial on the signal generator and move the frequency up 
and down, but.... Nothing is guaranteed to work right.  Who knows what sort of 
little DPLLs are on that chip that have narrow ranges, etc.

This experiment was with a Teensy 3.1 - I had a lot of them, so I wasn't afraid 
to hack it up.

Your OCXO will have a much narrower tuning range at the extreme’s of it’s EFC 
than the tolerance on
the typical crystal. The MCU PLL’s will run over the OCXO tune range ….

I was thinking if you tried to run it at 10 MHz.. yeah, if you get a 24 MHz OCXO, no problem.

But who knows what sort of weird timing stuff might happen inside running at less than half the speed.
