Hi Ok, so it’s not a super duper low phase noise OCXO. It’s also at a reasonably high frequency.
I’d just drive it into a 5V tolerant input and move on. There are lots of logic gate chips out there that will run from 3.3 and accept 5V inputs. Use something reasonably fast and it will do a pretty good job. Bob On Sep 30, 2014, at 10:11 PM, Mark A.
