My preferred oscillator basically is...

That was given as the prefered design in National's "CMOS Oscillators"
appnote in the 1981 4000 book.


but without the attenuator to avoid the ESD diodes... since my custom
stuff has no ESD diodes on the internal nodes.

Can you explain that? No attenuation means you don't get overshoot? That
seems backwards.


Also the inverters are single stage instead of the 3-somes built into
the 74HC04's

My sense is (by intuition but not analysis) that the positive feedback makes
that possible. Right?
