Battery powered clock circuit.

beppe61 · 8th March 2006, 03:21 PM

Dear Sirs,

I would like very much to hear some opinion from people who have experience about powering the clock generator circuit with batteries.
I strongly think this could be a way to get wonderful clock stability and, in conclusion, exceptional sound.

Thank you very much indeed.
Kind regards,

hi beppe61, I tried it with my clock, and I was not impressed.
Batteries can be noisy too.

Battery power is overrated, properly implemented AC can be better.

I've tried as well and can not recommend it.

Dear Sirs,

thank you very much for your extremely kind and valuable replies.
I can only say that your comments have changed completely my belief.

I truly thought that batteries were "the cure" for most of digital problems.

And for the first time I see the word "noise" related to batteries.

I am sincerely upset.

Thank you very much anyway.

Kind regards,

beppe

Hi Beppe,
Batteries are a "cure" for other problems in vibrators.....

read parts 1 to 4, good info and suggestions on low noise

Guido, good post. Nice to see someone went to the trouble of actually measuring battery noise. This has been a dirty little secrect for too long. Batteries are not perfect voltage sources.

They are chemical reactions. I like to think of boiling water as an analogy to the molecular conversions taking place. It's no panacea. On the other hand, it can easily solve ac related hum issues in some equipment.
